## Caption

As a child growing up in Illinois, Deb (Ridgeway) Neubek, ’82 FAA, looked to the stars and dreamed of designing space stations and lunar habitats. 🚀

That dream became a three-decade career at NASA, where she helped develop the International Space Station and advance exploration of the Moon and Mars.

We’re proud to recognize Deb with the 2026 Alumni Achievement Award.
