Jean’s Corner
Dear UWM Planetarium friends,
My whole life I have been motivated by education. I love learning about the cosmos, of course, but I also enjoy learning and thinking about topics ranging from public speaking and good leadership to how best to support students and set goals. We take for granted public education and how that has uplifted the quality of life for people around the world. Learning is a core value that we can all get behind.
One of my goals is that our planetarium is a community resource for learning and appreciation. Imagine my delight when a young man attending the Star Ball told me several ideas that he still remembers from the program Scale of the Universe. At the end of the Constellations of the Zodiac program, a middle-aged man triumphantly said that he now knows how to find the North Star. A young woman liked learning about the myth around Scorpius. Thank you for wanting to learn more.
If you value what we do, consider a donation to our UWM Giving Days for the Planetarium. Any amount helps us continue our mission of offering opportunities for learning as a community.
Let’s continue to explore the cosmos together,
Jean
