We welcomed back to campus all classes up to the Class of 1975 for the annual 50 Year Club Luncheon. So many memories and stories shared around tables among friends!

Congrats Jazmine!

Read Jazmine's post from LinkedIn about this exciting new adventure:

"2025: A Year of New Beginnings!
I am beyond excited to share that I've started a new position! I have joined the Medtronic Foundation as a Senior Principal Specialist on their new global impact initiative. In this role, I’ll be collaborating with Heidi Jedlicka Halvarson and the team to create experiential learning programs that inspire and empower youth worldwide.

This opportunity beautifully aligns with my passion for youth outreach and STEM education, building on my previous experiences while challenging me to grow and make a greater impact.

Medtronic is not only a world leader in MedTech but also a cornerstone of the Minneapolis community. Known for the invention of the pacemaker and countless other life-changing innovations, Medtronic continues to improve lives globally. I’m proud to join this incredible legacy and contribute to the innovative work that shapes the future.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing team at GoEngineer. Though my time there was brief, it was incredibly impactful. I gained invaluable insights into SolidWorks and the Reseller Channel, and I’m so grateful for the connections and experiences I’ve gained along the way.

Here’s to growth, new opportunities, and creating lasting change in 2025 and beyond!"
