“With every step that you don’t give up, you are moving up.” — Astronaut and alumna Christina Koch

Some words of encouragement from @astro_christina as we approach graduation season. 🐺🐾🥲 Stay forever, #NCState26.

ℹ️ Christina Koch was the winter commencement speaker in 2020, just a few weeks after the Resilience spaceflight launched on a six-month mission to the International Space Station.
