Thank you Dr. Squires!
Truly more than an educator, to those in this community, she was a mentor, role model, advisor, and friend. She was a bright light in a world that sometimes feels very dark. Using these abilities, she tirelessly worked with each student to help them follow and grow their love for aerospace. Helping to nurture that spark, she brought out the determination, drive, and fortitude in each and every student. This profound impact on each of our lives led to the confidence to carry on and accomplish our goals. Not only that, but as a close confidant, Dr. Squires spent countless hours providing guidance to each project or team and mentoring all of the students within them. And no matter the outcome of a project or competition, she was always able to find the positive. Many times, she provided us with the much needed reassurance to learn from our failures, never losing faith in us or our abilities, ultimately teaching us to do the same for ourselves. It is these attributes and so many more that made Dr. Squires a truly amazing and special human being.
