The high resolution photos unlocked Mills’ academic passion — and […]
As we noted earlier this fall, the Congressional Award gold medal is the highest honor presented to youth by the U.S. Congress.

Sometimes we’re told that it can be foolish to have our head in the clouds — but that’s not the case for Baylor’s premier aerospace engineering club, Aero at Baylor.
