President Encourages STARS Students to join Student Clubs

Paul Flerchinger, president of the WSU Aerospace Club, speaks to the STARS students about building rockets and what they can accomplish in a student clubs. Our Aerospace Club is just one of many excellent options available to WSU Students that can provide community service and learning opportunities, a chance to pad your resume with an awesome project, as well as a whole lot of fun!

President Paul Flerchinger Speaks to Student Clubs

Paul’s motivation:

“I hope to help students get involved with the college no matter what club or event they choose to participate in. Being in a club not only helps you take what you have learned in class and apply it to the project you are working on, but also helps you engage with other people who share a common interest. Good luck out there WSU students- Show others what you can do!”

Hey all, we are launching rockets on Friday starting at 5pm as the sun sets at 6:15 instead of having a meeting. It will take place at the Rogers-Orton Playfield. I will take people up at 5 from Dana 51 (club room) and Victor will take people up at 5:30. Try to finish up and paint your rockets before Friday at 5pm. I’ll be in the club room from 2:30-5pm on Friday.20151007_171348
