September 30, 2021

Since 1873, the Minnesota Academy of Science (MAS) has been connecting Minnesotans of all backgrounds with resources and opportunities to engage in STEM learning, research, and communication and recognizing excellence in these areas. This fall, MAS announced that Simley High School Biology Teacher Lori Haak will join its board of directors.

As an experienced educator, Ms. Haak will play an important role in guiding MAS’ mission of advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational opportunities for Minnesota students.

“I’m eager to serve the organization that first inspired my love for science and the science community through regional and state science fairs,” Ms. Haak said. “Now that I’m a biology teacher it’s exciting to be able to bring that perspective to the MAS Board of Directors.”

Ms. Haak is part of a cohort of six new MAS board members serving three-year terms that begin in September 2021. “I am honored to announce that Lori Haak is now a member of our Board of Directors,” said Lara Maupin, MAS Executive Director. “Ms. Haak will provide a great deal of support and insight to MAS. I look forward to further promoting STEM education and excellence in Minnesota with her assistance.”

Congratulations to Ms. Haak as she starts her position as board member!
