We must help people recognize science in their daily lives. We need to connect the historic and iconic exhibits that people love, with practical applications of what it means to their lives today. In that way, we can give people access to emerging technology and innovation, show the evolution of jobs and skills, and understand today’s global science challenges.

We must form meaningful relationships across our neighborhood, our city, our region, our nation, and beyond. Griffin MSI’s location and the strength of our educational programs give us an opportunity to relate to communities through our programs, outdoor spaces, neighborhood relationships, and an expanded digital presence beyond Chicagoland.

We must retain a sustainable and strong foundation. For 90 years, Griffin MSI has relied upon strong governance, financial sustainability, exceptional staff, and robust infrastructure. Sustaining this strong foundation will help us keep pace with the rapid changes and challenges around us.
