Aeronautics and astronautics professor builds connections to help students in class and beyond
2021 Murphy Award: Karen Marais
Karen Marais is tireless when it comes to her students. From the first day of classes, Marais, a School of Aeronautics and Astronautics professor, is intent on making sure the students don’t just learn, but interact with her as well.
For much of one spring semester, a student in her Introduction to Aerospace Design class sat quietly on his own despite Marais’ best efforts to connect. It was only when the semester was soon to end that he finally came out of his shell and opened up to her during class.
