Public Outreach

As a Community Outreach Coordinator I oversee the planning and implementation of outreach strategies. My primarily responsible is to connect people in the broader community by creating sponsorship agreements and cultivating relationships with businesses, individuals, and other relevant organizations.

My public outreach program does not end with these three events (Telescope Observing, Universe in the Park and State Fair). I take it a step further by offering services (free of charge) to groups who are looking for a more personalized event to suit their particular interests. These groups include schools, churches, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, rotary clubs, senior citizens, etc. The event can consist of a class on a particular subject, telescope viewing, hands-on demonstrations, or anything else that is feasible.
