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!

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!”

This last Saturday we were able to get a member of our club NAR level 1 certified. Hopes are high that we will be able to certify two members to level 2 and fly our main rocket this weekend. The Carbon Cougar is nearly ready to fly only a few last minute adjustments in Mansfield this weekend!

If you are interesting in touring Blue Origin and Aerojet-Rocketdyne there will be a group heading over on April 20th and 21st! Let me know if you want to attend by email or at our meeting on Friday. These tours require being a U.S. Citizen and signing a nondisclosure.
