Capitol students aren't just poised to achieve great things. They're doing great things already! This summer, the Project Hermes team participated in RockSat-X and saw their payload launched on a NASA sounding rocket. The mission was a success, enabling their groundbreaking project to take another step forward. We're proud of the team and hope you'll share in the excitement too!

Also in this month's Connector, we welcome Dr. Soheil Hosseini to the Capitol engineering faculty. In addition to his PhD, Dr. Hosseini's achievements include development of a machine learning algorithm that could potentially save utilities and consumers millions of dollars.

Students in Capitol's two online doctoral programs -- cybersecurity and management and decision sciences -- gathered on campus in August for the doctoral residency, an intensive three-day event intended to provide in-person guidance and mentoring. More than 70 students attended and all came away with green-lighted research topics. Congratulations, future DScs and PhDs!
