Arthur Bogard, Senior Operator at the Clark Planetarium, is a Junior in Mathematical Science at Shawnee State University. A future educator, Arthur continually tests new teaching methods on students to engage them in science learning. He is a 24 year old from Marion, Ohio and is celebrating his three year anniversary with his wife Danielle in July 2008. When not in school, Arthur often works as a maintenance crew chief on C-130s at the 179th AW as a sergeant in the Ohio Air National Guard. With five years of service in, he and Danielle continue to evaluate their options post-college, at which time they plan to move to Chapel Hill, North Carolina and teach.

A native of Portsmouth, Steven may be one of the more interesting characters at the Clark Planetarium. You can usually find him out on the levee on clear summer and fall nights, searching the skies with our Celestron telescope. A Senior in Mathematical Science, Steven plans to pursue a Masters degree in Civil or Mechanical Engineering while continuing research regarding high energy impacts (specifically, the study of ejecta fields). This is particularly interesting, considering Steven was formerly an MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket Systems) crewmember in the US Army. Outside of the planetarium, Steven is active in environmental conservation and alternative energy developments. At present, Steven is learning to speak German while studying gravitational fields and the heliosphere.

After ten years of service as a reactor operator and electrician on submarines in the US Navy, and ten years in nuclear safety procedures and radiological waste disposition, Scott is back in school studying for a degree in Mathematics. After graduation, Scott plans to teach high school math while pursuing a Masters degree in Astrophysics. Outside of his studies and work at the planetarium, Scott enjoys spending time with his four children, and can frequently be found on the tennis court or golf course. Scott is originally from Indianapolis, IN.
