Three, two, one, ignition!
Tulsa Air and Space Museum visitors can now experience the thrill and complexity of flying a space shuttle using a cockpit simulator designed and built by four electrical and computer engineering seniors. At the model's recent unveiling during the Aviator Ball, all eyes were on Shuttle Commander Jim Wetherbee and Shuttle Pilot Paul Lockhart as they used the new technology to return the craft safely back to earth.

Globetrotting alumni
Just a few weeks before they graduated from The University of Tulsa, Luke Bertaux (BSBA '22) and Heath Fusco (BA '22) were elated to learn the Fulbright U.S. Student Program had selected them to experience life overseas as English teaching assistants. Bertaux will soon be leaving for Spain and Fusco is looking forward to heading south to Paraguay.

I see you
"Accessible" and "immediate," yet also "often misunderstood" and "slippery" – that's how Associate Professor Dan Farnum describes photography, his chosen artistic medium. In recent work, Farnum has focused his lenses on urban subjects, documenting people and landscapes that evince a similar enigmatic instability. This includes portraits from his homestate of Michigan as well as sites of memory, violence and reinvention across Tulsa.

Her Czechered story
For four months this year, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Erin Iski lived in Prague as a Fulbright U.S. Scholar. Based at Charles University, Iski had access to Atomic Force Microscopy, which advanced her biomolecular research. She also "formed some very real friendships that have allowed me to grow substantially and reminded me that the world is simultaneously a much bigger place, but also welcoming and wonderful."
