Press release from the Greensboro Science Center: July 26, 2021 How does the GSC impact individuals, families and communities? We think it's best to let YOU answer that question! Read our Q&A with GSC staff member Glenn Dobrogosz to learn about what makes the GSC so special to him. Job title: Chief Executive Officer Primary Responsibilities: Comprehensive oversight of planning, growth and operations How many years have you worked at the GSC? 17 What is it about the GSC that makes you stay? I have had the pleasure of helping to spark and lead tremendous change working alongside the best team of employees, Board members, volunteers, partners, members and donors in the City of Greensboro. Why is the GSC important to you personally? The beauty of science is that it has no boundaries, yet it encompasses everyone and everything. This allows everyone to benefit, learn, grow, be inspired and hopefully see life through a lens of near infinite beauty and diversity. Why is the GSC important to the community? Like science, the GSC pushes the boundaries of change. Much of what the Center has accomplished over the last decade, many said could never be achieved in Greensboro. Today, our fast growing, perpetually changing and soon to be a top-5 state destination has attracted over 5 million people to its 35-acre site since opening of Animal Discovery in 2008. Accredited aquariums, zoos and science museums work in every community where tried. Here in Greensboro, we have all three! What impact do you hope the GSC has on guests? I hope guests: (1) Leave inspired to learn more about life's incredible diversity, (2) Have amazing experiences with their family and then go home to talk and challenge each other with their knowledge, (3) Become more science-minded and begin to support projects and initiatives that inspire kids to seek science careers.
