Torry Johnson's high school was right down the street from the Goddard Space Flight Center, and, for years, he wondered what went on behind the gates. Fast forward, and Torry's using his passion of working with students and their families as the national program manager for NASA's Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP). In this episode, hear how he's focused on minority serving institutions—which are, overwhelmingly, community college or two-year institutions—by providing access to STEM programs that are out of this world.
