UT Grads Grab Attention from NASA, Animators and Engineers
When Gina Pantano graduates on Saturday, her work won’t be done. UT’s first physics and mathematics double major, Pantano will begin a 10-week paid, remote internship with the NASA Goddard Flight Center starting in June.
Gina Pantano graduates on Saturday and heads to an internship with the NASA Goddard Flight Center starting in June.
Pantano, of Pittsburgh, is one of 1,781 degree-seeking candidates participating in UT’s 152nd commencement, which will be a virtual experience on May 8.
Pantano, who will pursue a doctorate in applied physics at the University of South Florida this fall, co-founded the UT chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) during her first year on campus. She said SPS has increased her networking opportunities, strengthened her ability to connect with professional organizations and introduced her to the NASA internship, which is organized through the American Institute of Physics.

In physics, she explains, “the whole point is to find new ways of looking at the world. I think it’s super important as a human being to push the boundaries of knowledge, to find out more.” Credits: Photo: PJ Hernandez Caption: A staged reading of Nambrath s translation of the play Hurlevents ( Wuthering, in English) took place on April 30, performed by a cast of professional actors. Nambrath captures the wit and linguistic sparring of Britt’s script in English, presenting relatable characters as they navigate the stormy process of coming to terms with their pasts, present, and the future.

The Luther College chapter of the national Society of Physics Students has received the 2020 Outstanding Chapter Award. This is the highest award, granted to only 15% of chapters annually, and recognizes Luther s chapter for its involvement and outreach on campus and in the larger SPS community. SPS is a way for students who are interested in physics and engineering to get together and have fun doing small construction projects and design competitions, said Erin Flater, Luther College professor of physics and SPS advisor. It s also a chance to learn more about physics, about summer research and internship opportunities, and about what scientists and engineers do in their careers.
