When Electrical Engineering major Katrina Rosemond was selected as an Educational Partnership Program (EPP) Undergraduate Scholar, she had never been on an airplane before. Her first flight was to San Francisco, California, to present her research on forecasting Arctic sea ice concentrations at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting. Less than a year later, Katrina was going through the same rigorous training as G-IV and P-3 Hurricane Hunter pilots and crew during her summer internship at MacDill Airforce Base in Tampa, Florida.
