WHAT IS GLAS?

When the University of Chicago announced it would be ceasing operations at Yerkes Observatory in the fall of 2018, the professionals who ran the educational outreach programs took action. They formed GLAS Education, a non-profit entity with a mission to “sustain and preserve the former Yerkes programs for the Geneva Lake community” until a new steward for the observatory is identified.
