Purdue AAE's own Olivia Descipio, Lucia Morton, Simone Moulton, and Tanya Vijay are part of the tenth class of "Brookies" — recipients of the highly selective Brooke Owens Fellowship.
Brooke Owens Fellows receive a suite of opportunities and benefits thanks to the organization's connections in the industry. Fellows are given valuable internships with major aerospace organizations, are also each paired with a high-level mentor, and have opportunities to network with current and former Brookies.
