Arizona Alumni Magazine
Welcome to another issue of the Arizona Alumni Magazine. Our cover image this summer is the Women’s Triathlon team celebrating their championship win at the Women’s Collegiate Triathlon National Championship back in November 2024 — a feat achieved in only their second year of competition (and over seven-year champions Arizona State, no less). Below, you’ll also find stories of student-built satellites in orbit over Earth, a discussion with the U of A’s new head of research about our potential in fusion energy (and more), and a campus love story that took root under a large and unusual tree.
