Long Beach Middle School students recently participated in a virtual assembly presented by The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Hispanic Outreach and Leadership Alliance (HOLA) featuring four NASA staff members working in different capacities.

The purpose of the Nov. 15 assembly was to give students the opportunity to meet the NASA employees and hear their inspiring stories. Each speaker shared motivational stories and how they made the most of life opportunities ultimately leading to a career at NASA.

Prior to the assembly, students had the opportunity to read speaker biographies and submit questions for consideration during the presentation.

The mission statement of HOLA is to foster awareness and promote the contributions of the Hispanic community at NASA; to create and facilitate collaborative, cross-cultural opportunities; and to encourage the recruitment and professional development of a highly skilled and diverse workforce.
