Separated by some 15 years at Washtenaw Community College, the paths of two alumni intersected with Monday’s Blue Origin’s launch into space. Aisha Bowe, one of the six all-female crew members who crossed the Kármán international space boundary line on the New Shepard-31 mission, and Nathan Perry, a Blue Origin Launch Vehicle Test Engineer, proudly attribute the start of their extraordinary careers to their time at WCC. Their achievements illustrate the transformative impacts of a community college education.
