Photo of Ambassador
Sharon Shanks is the Planetarium Lecturer at the Ward Beecher Planetarium at Youngstown State University (Youngstown, Ohio). She combines her ability to write with her love of space in her presentations to thousands of school children every year, as well as to the general public and to readers of her weekly newspaper column "The Cosmos." She will use these same skills to share the wonders of the solar system through programs at the Ward Beecher Planetarium and hands-on activities at sites throughout the community.
