These Augsburg University STEM students have had a busy summer in 2025! They conducted undergraduate research, built and flown high-powered rockets, obtained L1 certification in rocketry, and attended a drone workshop. Yesterday, they volunteered at the NASA exhibit at the Minnesota State Fair.

The hustle of the end of another semester is here, and for our seniors, it is a chance to celebrate their accomplishments. I enjoyed the opportunity to celebrate with my colleagues in physics at Augsburg University's Honors Convocation.

Augsburg University was thrilled to host @jiwasa.bsky.social as our Sverdrup Visiting Scientist. We end this event with a celebration of undergraduate research. It was super cool that Dr. Iwasa could spend time with our students, discussing their work. Below are Auggie physicists at their posters.

Augsburg University had a great turnout at the MnSGC NASA Student Symposium. Students from across MnSGC gave great presentations, and it was a good opportunity for faculty to network.

This Fall, Augsburg's Physics department has hired the amazing @kristineloh.bsky.social to teach our Science of Food and Cooking course. Kristine even contributed a brand new lab to our course on foams and vegan meringues. Thank you Kristine!

We are fortunate to have generous alumni at Augsburg University. That generousity comes in many forms, for example Noah Aleshire (Honeywell Areospace) is sharing his expertise in high powered rocketry with our NASA MnSGC rocketry team. Thanks Noah!
