On behalf of the Aerospace Department, we are pleased to announce that the
National College Resources Foundation (NCRF) under the direction of Dr.
Theresa Price has gifted a Mobile Operations Central Assembly Trailer
(MOCAT) valued at $264,000 to SDSU’s Rocket Project.
The MOCAT will be used by the Rocket Project to transport rockets and other
test equipment. Its flexible interior design will allow it to be used as a
mobile laboratory and traveling classroom.
Dr. Theresa Price founded the NCRF, based in Diamond Bar, CA to enhance
education, curtail the high school dropout rate and increase degree and/or
certificate enrollment among underserved and underrepresented students.
The NCRF has helped over 500,000 students get into college, has helped
students secure over $500 million in scholarships and grants and has
increased graduation rates by 20% in schools served by the NCRF.
If you happen to see Dr. Theresa Price at a national meeting, an industry
event, campus happening, etc., please feel free to express your
appreciation for the NCRF’s support of SDSU’s Rocket Project.
