Vivian White
Director of Education
In 2006, I volunteered with the ASP through Project ASTRO and fell hard for astronomy education while finishing my degree in physics. Decades and many adventures later, I am now the Director of Education, administering the Eclipse Ambassadors Off the Path program and the NASA Night Sky Network (NSN). A community of more than 425 amateur astronomy clubs across the country, NSN has been supporting club outreach and events with an interactive website and webinars since 2004. I design astronomy activities and demos specifically for informal settings, working with citizen scientists, Girl Scouts, Tibetan monks, undergraduate students, and many others to expand the ways we learn astronomy out of school. Beyond the night sky, my passions include pottery, poetry, and social justice. I can often be riding my bike around town and as often as possible in hot springs under clear, dark skies.
