During her time at DSST, Hannah Hathaway was deeply committed to facilitating deep learning among her students in biology and drew many connections to various initiatives happening in our communities. Hannah was instrumental in building the vision for DSST programming that will continue to impact students and programming into the future.
In considering Hannah's investment in the biosciences, and her value of community partnership, her donation will go to benefit The Sand Creek Regional Greenway, a nearly 13-mile public trail and natural area located in the northeast Denver metro area.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership was established to protect, maintain and enhance the Sand Creek Regional Greenway, and is committed to enhancing the equitable access, awareness, and engagement of the Greenway.
