Astronaut Kalpana Chawla (KC) went to my university and the dorm she stayed in is now named KC Hall. Her husband donated a few of her stuff and they have them in the engineer building and the dorm in her remembrance.
"The dorm named after Kalpana Chawla who was a proud UT Arlington Alumna and astronaut crew member aboard the Columbia space shuttle sadly destroyed over North Texas in February of 2003.
Two unique features to this community are the KC Remembrance Wall that tells the story of Kalpana's extraordinary life story and the building's Time Capsule to be opened in 2034."
