Tricia Mack , , f Ml . MI f UN Hometown: Rochester Hills What she will miss about U of M: the closeness of friends all being on campus and FOOTBALL! Interesting residence hall experience: Having her picture posted all over her dorm with the caption If you like what you see, call Trixie printed underneath it . Loves to: Go two-steppin ' Favorite musical artist: Garth Brooks Favorite college memory: Mardi Gras Memorable event: meeting Alan Shepard (first American in space) Biggest accomplishment: graduating! Tricia Mack had a bright future ahead of her. The greatest thing she has done during her time here at the University of Michigan was applying for the NASA co-oping position at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Although she was not originally one of the two candidates chosen by Michigan, Tricia was not going to give up that easily. She told herself, Don ' t take ' NO ' for an answer! People warned her that there was no other way to get in except through Michigan ' s engineering department. But, her determination and love for Aerospace engineering proved them wrong. By directly applying for the opening and showing NASA she not only had the necessary volunteering experience, but the capability to do the job right, she was offered the position almost immediately. For the first semester on the job, a department was assigned to her. For the next two terms, however, Tricia interviewed for her first choice of departments, the Extravehicular Activities department (EVA). Once offered the position, she was more excited than ever. She said, Getting the co-op at NASA was a dream come true. Not only did I work at NASA, but I also worked in EVA! EVA is the Space walk where she trained the astronauts to walk in space. Along with EVA, Tricia also worked in Mission Control where astronauts learned to be flight controllers through simulations. By having the crew view a sample of the trip through monitors, the overseers would cause an emergency to occur to teach the astronauts what to do in panic situations. The Johnson Space Center prepared Tricia for her future and taught her more about herself. The NASA co-oping position has made her a more confident person, set her in the right direction and made her more optimistic about her future. It has given her the right experience to pursue what she loves: Aerospace. 292 Graduates
