Dr. Meadors, Director of the Arkansas Space Grant Consortium at University of Arkansas, Little Rock, is no stranger to groundbreaking achievements. Just before President Joe Biden declared Juneteenth a federal holiday, she orchestrated NASA’s first-ever Juneteenth celebration. As the associate director, she championed this historic event, emphasizing the contributions of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to NASA. The celebration fostered dialogue, raised awareness, and celebrated African American heritage in the context of NASA’s endeavors
