Dr. Marc Rayman ’74 is still living his dream-come-true, exploring the cosmos from NASA/JPL. His most recent mission, Dawn, far exceeded all expectations and ended successfully with the spacecraft in orbit around dwarf planet Ceres. Because Ceres has all the ingredients for life, Dawn was not allowed to contact the ground, where the probe's terrestrial materials would contaminate that important astrobiological environment.

“The community at MV is special. I keep in close contact with at least half of my class. I enjoy meeting up with old colleagues when I am traveling for conferences just to catch up. Your peers at MV have known you during the most vulnerable times of childhood and adolescence. You will learn to lean on them during the ups and downs of life.”
