Alan Hanstein has been appointed as the executive director
for the Challenger Learning Center of Tallahassee (CLCTLH), an outreach arm of
the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. He began
on June 10, 2022.
Hanstein was chosen from a handful of candidates after a
national search. In the new role, he will be responsible for all aspects of
center operation, including its IMAX Theatre, Planetarium Theatre, Camp
Challenger, educational school programs (field trips), lecture series, public
programs and more.
“Alan’s enthusiasm
for the Challenger Center’s mission and community connections made him the
right choice to lead the facility,” Farrukh Alvi, interim dean of the College
of Engineering said. “He will foster new collaborations between the center and
our college and with the region at large. He has creative ideas for Challenger
and we’re delighted to have him on board.”
Hanstein has served on the CLCTLH board for nearly 20 years
and is a past chair. He succeeds Michelle Personette, who stepped down in
February after two decades in the position.
