Legacy of Christa McAuliffe Panel
Presented by: The Concord Monitor
January 28th, 2026 | 6:00PM
The Concord Monitor joins The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center at NHTI's Sweeney Hall for a panel on the legacy of Christa McAuliffe. Moderated by News Editor Rebeca Pereira and Community Editor Rachel Wachman, this panel features astronaut Ricky Arnold, who took Christa's lessons into space in the 2010s, Kathleen Young, who produced the NH PBS documentary "Christa" last year, and Amber Woods, who oversees the Discovery Center's archival trove of Challenger memorabilia. Join us for an evening exploring the ways in which Christa's legacy lives on in the Concord community — and in the world at large. Attendees will have the chance to hear from the panelists, ask questions, and get an inside glimpse into the Monitor's reporting process in crafting a special publication dedicated to Christa and the Challenger crew.
