Every August marks the beginning of a new school year for Saint Louis University. New students walk the campus, excited, unsure, anxious, and eager. They embrace the next stage of their academic journey. For many, it is the first time away from home, the first time away from family.

Every September marks the annual tradition of homecoming week at Saint Louis University. New empty-nester parents reunite with their children in a show of support and sympathy to share experiences with each other’s new roles in life.

Parks College at Saint Louis University has chosen this as the perfect time of year to showcase and honor academics and achievement by recognizing individual alumni for their post-graduate accomplishments. These alumni’s impacts in the fields of engineering, technology, and aviation is simply impressive. Their profound impact on our world includes landing a man on the moon, having the first woman pilot fly a 747, and preparing several graduates to become NASA astronauts.

In 2007, Parks College selected Sandbox Creative to design and install a history wall that told the entire Parks College story from its 1927 humble beginnings to the present day. As a part of this ever-growing display, Sandbox Creative has the opportunity to tell the stories of two individuals each year, as their stories are added to the wall.

“The people that have been a part of Parks—the teachers, the students—are nothing short of amazing,” says Dave Cox, founder of Sandbox Creative. “I’m simply blown away by the fact that so many graduates have been a integral part of NASA’s development over the years. To be asked to showcase such incredible people and their contributions is quite the honor.”

Sandbox Creative looks forward to this project each and every year.
