The Great NHSTA Green Experiment

Did you know the average American uses more than 700 pounds of paper each year? I would hate to think what the average TEACHER uses each year! As a teacher, you know what it is like to get huge amounts of paper mail. Just leave your mailbox alone for a week and you’ll get the point. As part of NHSTA’s new initiative to make a positive impact on our environment, we will be going paperless with the 2009-2010 school year.

We felt it was time to get a makeover, a makeover to better match our vision for science education in the state of New Hampshire. With a new website in the works, we thought it would be the perfect time to revise our logo as well.

We contacted Pamela Anneser, a professor at Plymouth State University, and asked if her graduate class would be interested in helping us to create a new logo. As part of a class assignment students did their best to create a logo that represented both the state of New Hampshire and the field of science. All of the students worked diligently and were extremely creative in envisioning how to best represent NHSTA visually. After much hard work, Julie Robida’s logo was chosen as the final logo that matched the vision and message NHSTA wanted to portray. We would like to extend a big thank you to Professor Anneser and all of her students for the incredible job they did in assisting us with this assignment. A special thanks to Julie Robida for her originality and insight!
