Rob McGehee, Assistant Director for the U of A Sky School, shared stories from Mt. Lemmon's multidisciplinary education program on KVOI's "Jump In Tucson" radio show.
"The Sky Center, located at the summit of Mount Lemon, is this really unique environment," McGehee says. "We have an opportunity to work with students to learn about the ecosystem here, which is unlike anything you get in the city, in Tucson. It's an ideal place for astronomy."

"Graduate students are really the heart of the success of our program . . . They are they're a bridge to these younger populations, inviting them to experience nature, to to study science, to get connected with all of the scientific research that's being done at U of A."
