In September and October, we are participating in the WVU Campus Read events with a feature introduction “Hidden Figures in the Stars” to celebrate the contributions of West Virginia native Katherine Johnson to NASA and the space race. The Hidden Figures intro accompanies our “Ultimate Universe” film.
Finally, the planetarium’s public image got a makeover this year. With the help of the Eberly College Media Team, we now have professional photographs of our staff giving presentations, a tri-fold educator brochure, a digital flyer, an updated mailing list template for our Mountaineer Skies newsletter, and new donation cards, envelopes, and online interface. We have also moved into the digital age with a social media presence on Facebook and Twitter.
