Pole Station in Antarctica. Katy Jensen, who now lives in St. Paul, was the Station Manager there from 1992 – 2002. She will be sharing her polar experience on Dec. 5 at 10:20 a.m. in the Hoversten Chapel as part of Augsburg’s Vocatio Series.<\/p>\n

Jensen earned her degree from Colorado College and later joined the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Commissioned Officer’s Corps. After serving 2 years aboard research vessels conducting oceanographic mapping and surveying missions, she was assigned to the U.S. Antarctic Program. That turned into a 10-year-long adventure of days with endless sun and others of perpetual night.<\/p>\n

Jensen’s speech in chapel is part of the “Science as Vocation” Vocatio Series, which is supported by Exploring Our Gifts: The Lilly Grant at Augsburg. There will be a lunch with Katy Jensen after chapel for those who would like to discuss her experiences. Please contact Ross Murray at murray@augsburg.edu<\/a> to RSVP for the lunch.<\/p>\n
