Following the Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy, she led the Space Shuttle Program Safety and Mission Assurance Office. She was then selected as a senior executive member of the NASA Engineering and Safety Center, serving as Chief Engineer at the Johnson Space Center, then as Principal Engineer. In the fall of 2017, she left federal service and joined Texas A&M University where she is a Professor of Practice in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Aerospace Engineering.

THE ROSS VOLUNTEERS

The Ross Volunteer Company, the oldest special unit of the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets, serves as Honor Guard for the Governor of Texas. Ross Volunteers attend all Texas governor inauguration ceremonies and perform the three-volley salute at Texas A&M’s Silver Taps and Muster events each year.

The group first organized as the Scott Volunteers on Texas A&M campus in 1887 (then known as Texas A.M.C.) for drill precision. It was named for Thomas Scott, agent of the board of regents and business manager from 1883 to 1891. When Gov. Lawrence Sullivan Ross was appointed college president in 1891, the company was renamed the Ross Volunteers. Lawrence Sullivan “Sul” Ross was the 19th Governor of Texas and a Confederate States Army general during the American Civil War.

Ross came to be known as a “Soldier, Statesman and Knightly Gentleman,” and all Ross Volunteers are expected to reflect his traits and values. The company is composed of junior and senior Corps of Cadets members chosen from among their peers on the basis of honor, humility, and character.
