Arkansas Space Grant Consortium

University of Arkansas (Little Rock) teamed up with the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium for 450,000 custom ASGC eclipse glasses. 

The Arkansas Space Grant Consortium (ASGC) is part of the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program NASA initiated in ’89; operations in the state began March 1, 1990. ASGC Includes 17 four-year universities and colleges throughout Arkansas. Our primary goal is to educate and familiarize faculty, undergraduate and graduate students with aerospace and related industries. The ASGC also conducts programs to familiarize and motivate K-12 students with the STEM related courses needed to enter aerospace activities at colleges and universities to prepare them to enter high tech white-collar and blue-collar professions in high-tech industries.
