State …………………………………..…………. 182 iv Preface Air Force Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFJROTC) is a program designed to develop citizens of character dedicated to serving their nation and community. To support this mission, the Curriculum Directorate of the Jeanne M. Holm Center for Officer Accessions and Citizen Development (Holm Center) produces “world-class” academic materials for AFJROTC units worldwide. A comprehensive description of the academic program is contained in this AFJROTC Curriculum Guide. The guide a relevant, informative tool designed to assist school leadership and AFJROTC instructors plan and implement their curriculum programs. Each AFJROTC class consists of three components—aerospace science, leadership education, and a wellness program. Citizenship and character education, the heart of the curriculum program, is primarily embedded in the leadership education series of courses, while sense of service and education in science and technology related aerospace science is primarily found in the aerospace science series of courses. Thus, the typical high school student will spend two clock hours per week studying LE material, two more on AS subject matter and a fifth hour in wellness education, culminating in 120-180 contact hours per year for a single AFJROTC course offered at the host school. The flexibility of our curriculum design should enable you to meet the needs of your programs and accomplish the requirements set forth by your district and/or state. To reinforce what is taught in the classroom, students participate in many outside activities such as field trips to military bases, aerospace facilities and industries, museums, civilian airports and other areas related to aerospace education. AFJROTC units also offer the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities to include in drill and ceremonies, summer leadership schools, and honorary academic groups. Additionally, community service projects are a major part of the AFJROTC experience and helps instill a sense of civic pride and citizenship. The AFJROTC Curriculum Guide has four parts: “Part I – The AFJROTC Curriculum Program” describes the academic program, curriculum materials, and development, structure, and implementation of the curriculum. It expands on the curriculum development process and writing objectives and tests; 21st century teaching, learning, and assessments; and the course planning and scheduling process. “Part II – Aerospace Science Courses” presents the menu of courses in the aerospace science series to include A Journey Into Aviation History, The Science of Flight: A Gateway to New Horizons, Cultural Studies: An Introduction to Global Awareness, Exploring Space: The High Frontier, Management of the Cadet Corps, Survival, Aviation Honors

Because we cannot—we must not—ever forget that the rights and opportunities we enjoy as women today were not just bestowed upon us by some benevolent ruler. They were fought for, agonized over, marched for, jailed for and even died for by brave and persistent women and men who came before us....

  • Collins, Eileen Marie
    TEXT OF THE INTRODUCTORY ADDRESS DELIVERED BY: DR HUGH BRADY, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University, President, University College Dublin, on 14 June, 2006, in University College Dublin on the occasion of the conferring of the Degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa, on EILEEN MARIE COLLINS A Sheansailéir, a mhuintir na hOllscoile agus a dhaoine uaisle, Eileen Marie Collins was four-and-a-half years old when Yuri Gagarin made history as the first man in space. When she was growing up in the 1960s in Elmira, New York, there were no female astronauts and no female military pilots. The closest she would have come to a female role model was Lieutenant Uhura! It wasn’t until 1978 that NASA finally selected women for its space shuttle programme, and before 1992, female pilots were excluded from flying in combat. Eileen said once that eventually, having women in these roles wouldn’t be news anymore – it would be accepted and expected. It was a prophetic statement whose fulfillment she was to do more than anyone to bring about. Eileen Collins not only took on these aforementioned roles, at a time when it wasn’t accepted or expected, but did so in groundbreaking and record-breaking fashion. Just four years after becoming an astronaut, she became the first-ever female shuttle pilot. In 1999 she led the first shuttle mission to be commanded by a woman. She has clocked up 872 hours in space, on a total of four space flights, two of which she commanded. NASA Administrator Michael Griffin said of her earlier this year: “She is possessed of a quiet determination to attain the very highest levels of accomplishment.” And these she has attained in a number of different disciplines.

In the 1950s and 1960s, opportunities for American women and minorities were limited as they were often segregated into pink Opportunities; collar and menial jobs. NASA’s female and minority employees faced NASA Impacts similar obstacles. The Space Shuttle Program opened up opportunities US Culture for these groups—opportunities that did not exist during Projects Mercury and Gemini or the Apollo and Skylab Programs. NASA’s transformation was a direct consequence of a convergence of events Jennifer Ross-Nazzal Shannon Lucid that happened in the 1960s and 1970s and continued through the Helen Lane following 3 decades. These included: public policy changes instituted on the national level; the development of a spacecraft whose physical capabilities departed radically from the capsule concept; and an increase in the number of women and minorities holding degrees in the fields of science and engineering, making them attractive candidates for the space agency’s workforce. Over the course of the program, the agency’s demographics reflected this transformation: women and minorities were incorporated into the Astronaut Corps and other prominent technical and administrative positions. The impact of NASA’s longest-running program extends beyond these dramatic changes.

  • Dear Environmental Protection Agency Employees
    December 14, 2017 (Updated May 7, 2018) Dear Environmental Protection Agency Employees, This letter is written to express support and thanks for the work you do every day to protect public health and the environment. We want you to know your dedication is valued by millions of Americans despite indication that the current Administration feels otherwise. Equally important, we also write to better inform members of the public who may not understand what a frontline role you play in preventing premature death, other avoidable health consequences, irreversible ecosystem damage, and yes, even climate change. States, Tribes, and EPA play vital roles in protecting Americans and the environment from the impacts of pollution. In the late 60s and early 70s, our Congressional leaders created a system of environmental protection based on the principle of cooperative federalism. For this reason, and today more than ever, the safeguarding of our health and natural resources depends on robust state and Tribal programs as well as a fully functioning EPA. In every part of this country, you provide vital expertise and guidance, in partnership with the states and Tribes, by setting pollution limits to protect public health and the environment, facilitating development of multi-state solutions to pollution, using sound science to inform and address complex environmental challenges, responding to extreme weather events and catastrophes, and assisting states and Tribes with monitoring, enforcement and compliance. All of these functions (and there are many more) creates a level playing field among states and industry, which in turn guarantees a level of protection against harmful pollution for all Americans, regardless of where you live.
