Engineering concentrator named one of the Crimson's "15 seniors to meet before they graduate" (Harvard Crimson). Like many children, Carolina I. Ragolta '13 wanted to be an astronaut. Unlike most, she's well on her way to fulfilling that dream. Sporting an orange skirt and a green purse, she meets me on a cold Saturday afternoon at Starbucks. "I actually have a scholarship from NASA," she explains to me as we sit down. "It's a pretty sweet deal. I've worked two summers at Kennedy Space Center, and then this past summer, I was at Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California," she says.
