Jean’s Corner
Dear UWM Planetarium friends,
The Year of Space started strong: a Distinguished Lecture by Dr. Mae Jemison, a solar eclipse (even if the weather was iffy), and a celebration of the centennial of the first planetarium. We gratefully acknowledge the support from the College of Letters and Science to purchase 10,000 solar eclipse glasses that we have been distributing in our community, as well as our sponsors Milwaukee Eye Care and SolEnergy.
I continue to enjoy the smaller things, too: the excitement of a new show opening, the hum of school group requests, and the work we have done for Indigenous Voices.
I hope to see you soon under the stars,
—Jean
