Virtual Meetup Honors You've Got Perseverance Awardees in December 2022

Laurie Leshin, director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, smiles at a computer screen to interact with students being honored virtually, with two Mars team members behind the computer monitor, and other team members in the background, near a multi-colored "You've Got Perseverance" graphic on a large screen.

December 13, 2022

Students who have overcome academic challenges met NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Director Laurie Leshin, Daniel Zayas, Art Thompson, and other Mars team members at a Dec. 6, 2022 virtual "You've Got Perseverance" event. They also received personalized messages from the Perseverance rover.
