Auburn Student Science Program receives grant from National Science Foundation

The Auburn Student Space Program has received a grant from the National Science Foundation to design, build and test two CubeSat satellites. The idea began when J-M Wersinger, director of the Auburn University Student Space Program, was working with Dr. Michael Briggs at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. "We had been talking for a while about doing some joint work on CubeSats because he had been doing work on a big satellite,"  Wersinger said.

The Office of Student Involvement announced this week that there are now more than 500 student organizations on campus. John-Michael Roehm, coordinator for the Center of Student Involvement, said it's "incredible" to have so many organizations available to students. "[It] means there are more opportunities for students at Auburn to get plugged in and to get involved in something that interests them," Roehm said.
