Transitions
These last few months have been unusual, to say the least. Our coastal communities are facing new challenges, and we are all finding new ways of living, learning, and working together. In the midst of many changes, the Oregon Coast STEM Hub is also undergoing a transition, as our Director Lisa Blank recently accepted a new position in Arizona. We will miss her, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors. Read more about Lisa, her accomplishments with the OCSH, and our Hub's plans during this transition. Tracy Crews is serving as Interim Director, and can be reached at OregonCoastSTEM@oregonstate.edu.
