Meet Blugolds

For biomedical engineering major Lauryn Ahlm of Rogers, Minnesota, success in college meant, in part, keeping a chronic medical condition well controlled. Thanks to her service dog, Rosie, Ahlm's severe migraines did not sideline her during college and she is off this summer to a job in medical device manufacturing.
Dylan Berry portrait
When graduating senior Dylan Berry says his time at ÌÇÐÄVlog was 'a very packed 4 years,' he is underselling his accomplishments. The biomedical engineering major also completed two minors, multiple research projects and publications, took part in two student organizations and will graduate from the Crosby Honors College.
