SIGMA GAMMA TAU AEROSPACE ENGINEERING HONOR SOCIETY UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN CHAPTER Fall 2020 RESUME BOOK Full-Time – By Focus Area Dear Recruiter, Thank you for taking the time to consider the University of Michigan chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau. Sigma Gamma Tau is the honor society in aerospace engineering. Membership is limited to the top 20% of sophomores, top 25% of juniors, and top 33% of seniors, as measured by GPA; graduate students are also given the opportunity to initiate. Initiation requirements and the process itself are quite rigorous. We believe all members must demonstrate dedication and excellence in coursework, leadership, community outreach, and mentorship. Corporate events, lab tours and seminars, social gatherings, and IM sports are some of the many programs SGT offers. In addition to professional and academic development opportunities, SGT members are also actively engaged at the university and in the community. Members regularly conduct tutoring and review sessions, and volunteering events occur frequently throughout the term. The following resumes represent a wide breadth of achievement and experience. Members include project team leaders, researchers, volunteers, and leaders in the aerospace department and the university. This copy of the resume book encompasses all members seeking full-time positions. Thank you again for your consideration of SGT! If you have any questions about our organization, or would like to coordinate a corporate event in the future, I would be happy to assist; my email is [email protected].

The whole concept of space has fascinated me for my entire life as I have looked up to the stars. Learning about the wonders and mysteries of the cosmos is a big reason why I’m in the aerospace program today. I want the ability to share my passion with others by providing them with the excitement of space launches, moon landings and hopefully in the future, interplanetary travel. I am really excited about space travel and dream that I can be a part of the next wave of space exploration.
