Willed Donation to Support Space Studies Observatory

After a year of effort, Dr. Paul Hardersen secured the first large donation to UND Space Studies by securing a $150,000 donation that will be delivered in the will of an anonymous donor. Although the funds — specifically dedicated to the Space Studies Observatory — will not arrive for some time to come, this donation will secure the future operations and vitality of the observatory by providing funding for students, staff, and additional equipment.
