HATTIESBURG, Miss.- William Carey University will host a NASA recruitment event this week.
Workers with the NASA DEVELOP National Program will be at William Carey University in the lobby of Green Science Hall from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Thursday, January 22 to discuss internship possibilities with interested students.
