This year, the school will host George Archibald, executive director of the International Crane Foundation.

Archibald will address the school on important scientific topics as they relate to conservation and responsible, environmental awareness. He will also educate the school and guests on the impact that ICF is making in the scientific community.

“What makes this special day so unique is the personal connection that many students are able to make with the scientists, who spend much of their time telling students how they got involved in science,” according to a school news release.
