Ad Astra!

We are wrapping up the Kansas sesquicentennial celebrations, and the Ad Astra Kansas Initiative is spotlighting 150 Kansas researchers, inventors and engineers from the past to the present who have advanced their field. The latest to be recognized is our Professor Kristan Corwin. She joins our Professor Chii-Dong Lin, who was honored this past summer.

The Ad Astra Kansas Initiative is a Hutchinson-based organization that works toward promoting the scientific accomplishments of Kansas researchers and innovators who work in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ad Astra's project, "Science in Kansas: 150 Years and Counting," celebrates the state's sesquicentennial. It is meant to emphasize the importance of science and the career possibilities in research and innovation to K-12 students.
