Lake Avenue Community 
Foundation Becomes ‘Stars’

 

 Pasadena’s Lake Avenue 
Community Foundation has 
changed its name to ‘Stars’ to 
avoid confusion with Lake 
Avenue Church and because 
people often assumed from 
the former name that the 
organization is a grant-giving 
foundation.

 Stars’ new web address is www.
gostars.org.

 Stars Executive Director 
Nancy Stiles said that under its 
new name, “Stars will continue 
to be a faith-based organization 
with a strong partnership with 
Lake Avenue Church, and will 
continue to have the same 
vision, mission, and programs, 
but by clarifying the confusion 
we will be better positioned 
to take advantage of funding 
opportunities.”

 She said Stars will remain the 
primary non-profit partner 
of Lake Avenue Church for 
education issues. “We will 
continue to recruit volunteers 
and donors from the LAC 
family, send our students to 
camp alongside LAC, and 
continue to build relationships 
between families, students, 
volunteers, staff, and church 
members.”

 The Stars name is based on 
the organization’s more than 
20-year-old STARS after-school 
program. The STARS acronym 
has been lowercased and its 
meaning broadened to cover all 
the work of the organization: 
after school programming 
for grades 1-12, mentoring, 
summer enrichment, camps, 
trips, college preparation 
and completion support, 
counseling, and partnering 
closely with the parents of 
students to help support the 
whole family.

 The Stars programs are now 
being called Stars 123, Stars 
45, Middle School Stars, High 
School Stars, Stars Mentoring, 
Stars College Support, and 
Stars Summer Enrichment.

Victor Luo - 'Walking on Mars'

Friday, July 13, at 7:00 pm

Ramo Auditorium – Donald E. Baxter, M.D., Hall of the 
Humanities and Social Sciences

 This same lecture will be presented the evening before at JPL. See 
About the Series” below.

 Virtual and augmented reality promise to transport us to places 
that we can only imagine. When joined with spacecraft and 
robots, these technologies will extend humanity’s presence to 
real destinations that are equally fantastic. NASA’s Operations 
Laboratory at JPL is spearheading several ambitious projects 
applying virtual and augmented reality to the challenges of space 
exploration. Through partnerships with multiple VR and AR 
companies, scientists on the Curiosity Mars Rover mission are 
exploring the Martian terrain, engineers are finding new ways to 
collaborate on 3D designs, and astronauts on the International 
Space Station are preparing to perform their work more efficiently 
than ever before. The lead of these projects at NASA will share 
their progress so far, the challenges that lie ahead, and their vision 
for the future of VR and AR in space exploration.

Primary Presenter/Speaker

Victor Luo – Operations Lab Lead

Panel Speakers

Alice Winter – User Experience Researcher

Parker Abercrombie – OnSight Project Lead

Abby Fraeman – MSL Scientist

 The Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series, named after JPL’s

consecutive Thursdays and Fridays. The Thursday lectures take 
place in JPL’s Theodore von Kármán Auditorium and are streamed 
live via Ustream, and (beginning in July 2018) Friday lectures 
take place at Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium. Both start at 7:00 p.m. 
Admission and parking are free for all lectures, no reservations 
are required, and seating is limited.
