The Brooke Owens Fellowship recently announced its new class of interns, comprising 45 exceptional undergraduate women and gender minorities selected from 400 applicants. These interns are being placed in top aerospace companies with executive mentors. However, a new executive order by President Trump aims to terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, casting doubt on the fellowship's continuity. Lori Garver, a co-founder, expressed concerns about the program's potential end, highlighting the shift in government commitment to diversity that once supported such initiatives.
