STAHR’s Board consists of passionate undergraduates who volunteer their time (and, at times, sanity) to keep the organization running! They meet as a group to plan Open Houses, Dark Sky Trips, and other events, and most of them teach telescope classes! We hold elections every spring, and encourage anyone who wants to help lead STAHR to run.
