Today, on Inauguration Day, I am certain—more certain than ever—that the work we do at the Lawrence Hall of Science is essential. On this day I pledge, on behalf of the entire Lawrence Hall of Science community, to continue and strengthen our work…
Rest assured that we at the Hall will continue to vigorously pursue our mission of inspiring and fostering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for all. We will continue to be guided by our core values of equity, learning, innovation, leadership, and excellence—so that we may be the change we want to see in the world.
I also want to take a moment to thank all our Members, supporters, staff, and advisors. There’s lots of work ahead, and we are grateful for your ongoing partnership and support!
With gratitude,
Rena DorphInterim Director
