As a cultural, natural and scientific Treasure, Mauna Kea's value to the people of Hawai`i
and the world is unparalleled. The Mauna Kea Observatories Outreach Committee coor-
dinates observatory support for the Visitor Information Station (VIS) at the Onizuka Center
for International Astronomy. This partnership provides education resources for the children,
residents and visitors on the island of Hawai`i through programs and outreach activities.
The VIS serves as a focal point to instill a sense of wonder of the exploration of the Universe,
and responsibility for the care of Mauna Kea to all who visit and value it.
