Augsburg Mayo Innovations Scholar Program

Applications for Augsburg's Mayo Innovations Scholar Program are now available! This program is highly competitive and is primarily designed for juniors and seniors.

What is MISP?
In the process of conducting research, Mayo Clinic scientists have developed new products that may be marketable. These products are submitted to the Mayo Clinic Office of Intellectual Property (OIP) for a thorough investigation of marketability. The OIP has a significant backlog of products to be investigated. One of the backlogged products or inventions is assigned to each MISP team for investigative research and formal presentation at Mayo Clinic.

Augsburg's team will consist of an MBA student, 2 or 3 undergraduate science students, 1 or 2 undergraduate business/economics students, and a Licensing Manager from the Mayo Clinic OIP. The team will work together to understand the science and applications of the projects or innovations and analyze the market potential. Each undergraduate student on the team will receive $1,000. Teams will begin work during October and the final presentations will be in March.

To Apply:
Contact urgo@augsburg.edu to request an application. Completed applications must be submitted to urgo@augsburg.edu by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 25.

Sundquist gift of physics laboratory helps ensure first-class science facility for Augsburg

When Dean Sundquist '81 and his wife, Amy, heard Augsburg College's plan to build a new Center for Science, Business, and Religion, they knew they wanted to help. "The future is only going to get more technical and scientific. America's future prosperity and security depends on each successive generation becoming more inventive, innovative and progressive in science and technology," said Dean.

"This new building will be the capstone piece in the great improvements and upgrades Augsburg has made over the past 10-20 years," Dean says.

Their gift of $500,000 will name a physics laboratory in the Center for Science, Business, and Religion.
