John Olivias, an American engineer and a former NASA astronaut, gives a presentation in the Steve Schiff Auditorium of Sandia National Laboratories on Sept. 25, 2019. Sandia hosted the event where participants sampled Hispanic foods, viewed and judged student artwork and listened to Olivias talk about his contributions, and journey with NASA. This was the first event to highlight Hispanic Heritage observance month on Kirtland. The month pays tribute to the contributions that Hispanics and Latino American culture have made to the fabric of our nation. (U.S. Air Force photo by Jessie Perkins)
