West Virginia Native Emily Calandrelli’s Ascent Into Space

Emily Calandrelli’s journey into space is a testament to her unwavering dedication to women in STEM and her deep-rooted connection to her home state of West Virginia. A fierce champion for accessible education, Emily has experienced the transformative power of the right support firsthand. Her advocacy for initiatives like the Marshall for All, Marshall Forever program stems from her commitment to ensuring that others have the same opportunities to achieve their academic dreams, regardless of financial barriers.

This mission aligns with our values, as Wing 2 Wing is dedicated to removing obstacles and creating pathways to success for those who need it most. We are over the moon to support Emily on her voyage and make her dream of going to space a reality. As she prepares to embark on the flight of her life aboard the Blue Origin, she will become one of the first 100 women to accomplish this incredible feat. Her story stands as a powerful reminder that when we invest in education, we unlock the potential for individuals to achieve the extraordinary.
