I was born in Olympia, and lived mostly in Portland. My hopes are to study Aerospace Engineering and maybe minor in Astronomy, if that isn’t enough. When I first heard they would let a freshman do research for the astronomy department, I thought immediately that I couldn’t pass it up….

My name is Rebecca Chang and I am currently a freshmen at UW. I adore astronomy, although I have plans to major in aerospace engineering because society today seems to feel that astronomy can’t get you a job despite the fact that our future is in fact in the outer…
