Chris Keller started right here at Gulf Coast State College, building a strong foundation in physics and chemistry. Now, he’s at UCF pursuing his dream as an Aerospace Engineering major, focusing on propulsion systems and preparing for a career in the space and defense industries. Here’s what Chris has accomplished so far: ✨ Knights Experimental Rocketry (KXR): Worked on propulsion systems for a 12-foot rocket aiming to break records. ✈️ AIAA Project Lead: Leading a team designing and building a high-speed airplane that could make UCF history! Chris credits GCSC Associate Professor Dr. Jessica Edwards and Professor Dr. Cliff Harris, for being “the most educational, influential, and motivating professors” he’s had. Their support gave him the tools and confidence to reach for the stars. Your journey can start here, too. Whether your dream is aerospace engineering, medicine, business, or something else, Gulf Coast can help you build the foundation to succeed!
