Dunes Learning Center Welcomes New Executive Director
Please join us in welcoming Heather Hahn Sullivan as our new executive director. She has been instrumental in leading the fundraising efforts over the last four years and most recently increased her responsibilities as chief operating officer.
Following a decade of service, Geof Benson will be retiring. We are so grateful for his time with us. Geof was instrumental in growing Dunes Learning Center’s capacity and impact, while improving the infrastructure with an eye on the future. His deep commitment to growing the scholarship fund so that all students have the opportunity to experience their National Park overnight and under the stars on campus will leave a lasting legacy.
Thank you, Geof and congratulations, Heather!
Your support gives students the opportunity to explore the natural world around them! More than 51% of students who come to campus receive scholarship assistance, thanks to donors like you!
