	We have extended the deadline for the NASA Academy application, available at: http://www.AcademyApp.com, to January 28.   I could really use your help in a last ditch recruiting efforts.  
	 
	Please, share on your Facebook and Google+ accounts the website and deadline above.
	 
	Additionally, I've attached a poster and there is a program description below.  Could you please send these to any student groups of which you are a member or for which you think this might be a good opportunity?

	PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

	The NASA Academy Application deadline is January 28.  Apply now at http://www.AcademyApp.com.

	The Academies are intensive educational programs which emphasize group activities, teamwork, research, leadership and creativity. The curriculum balances direct contact with science and engineering R&D with an awareness of the managerial, political, financial, social and human issues faced by aerospace professionals. Included are seminars, informal discussions, evening lectures, supervised research, visits to other NASA Centers and facilities, group project/s, tours, posters/presentations, and assessment. Additionally, most weekends are filled with group activities, team building and off-site trips. One free weekend is scheduled.

	The Academy is not a 9-5 summer research internship program. It is a rigorous, immersive experience that will challenge you and push you outside of your comfort zones. It offers participants an intense learning experience that is either Space- or Aeronautics-based. All academy students will be immersed in a NASA environment where they will experience the agency from both inside and outside perspectives. Additionally, added interaction with NASA collaborators in industry and academia will provide unique, exciting and unforgettable summer experience designed to engage and capture students within the NASA family.

	The Academies have separate focus areas: Space/Aerospace (NASA Academy), Robotics, Aeronautics, and Propulsion.

	The deadline is January 22, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. EST.

	You may access it at http://AcademyApp.com <http://academyapp.com/>
