GLOBE Recognizes Dr. Jack Fellows

04/13/2012 11:00 MST - After 15-years of dedicated service, Dr. Jack Fellows is leaving the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) for new endeavors. Fellows was a GLOBE champion before the Program began––when it was merely an idea on drawing boards in the early 1990s. As chief of the Science and Space Program branch of the White House Office of Management and Budget (1984-1997), he witnessed the birth of GLOBE under then-Vice President, Al Gore. 

In 1997, Fellows moved from Washington D.C. to Boulder, Colorado when he was selected to head the Office of Community Programs. Five years later, he played a significant role in the Program’s development when he took the lead on a proposal for GLOBE to be managed by UCAR. Fellows then became the first Principle Investigator (PI) of GLOBE at UCAR. He was also the Interim GLOBE Director for the first year that GLOBE was in residence at UCAR. 
 
For his steadfast dedication to ensuring the success and growth of GLOBE, his wealth of knowledge about science and public policy and his long-range vision of GLOBE, the GLOBE Program Office staff extends its sincere gratitude and wishes Dr. Jack Fellows the very best.
