Dr. Deborah Edwards Barnhart
Tribute
The Dr. Deborah Edwards Barnhart endowed tribute scholarship salutes her outstanding service to the Rocket Center and Space Camp. Retiring at the end of 2019, Dr. Barnhart, as the center’s chief executive for nine years, oversaw a financial turnaround at the center that resulted in an 89 percent increase in gross revenue and record-setting Space Camp and museum attendance. Her legacy is one of far-reaching vision and a passion for inspiring the next generation of explorers. This fitting tribute prepares future engineers, scientists and astronauts, and carries on Dr. Barnhart’s tradition of excellence and achievement.
