Cmdr. Victor J. Glover, Jr. (Engineering, '99) was recently interviewed by Al Roker as part of the Today Show's Changemakers series in honor of Black History Month. Glover is the first African American to serve on an extended mission aboard the International Space Station. 

"I think it's important that America's space program represent the best of America, so for little kids to see someone who looks like them, that's super important to me," Glover said.
