Society of Military Spouses in STEM

Envisioning what doesn't exist yet.

August 6, 2017

Co-Founder Selects SMSS to Receive Her Proceeds from New Book

SMSS Co-Founder and 2016 AFI Air Force Spouse of the Year, Michelle Aikman, was selected to write a chapter in the recently published, Behind the Scenes: The Tales of American Military Spouses Making a Difference a military spouse legacy project.  

Meet the spouses from all over the globe and hear their tales of struggle and sacrifice as they ultimately defy the seemingly impossible to chase their own aspirations. Get a glimpse into the American Dream as you may have never seen before: selflessly sacrificing everything for America’s freedom while achieving ambitious dreams.

“After years of being a single voice and setting aside my career ambitions to dedicate my energy to improving this issue for future generations, I am proud to unite with others through the Society of Military Spouses in STEM, a 501(c)3 member-run nonprofit organization,” says Aikman. She emphasizes that the leadership team from all across the globe is working tirelessly in laying the groundwork to advocate for military spouses in STEM.

The book can be purchased through Amazon, and 100% of Michelle’s proceeds will go to SMSS.
