About Us
"The purpose of FOTO is to provide volunteer support to the GMU Observatory for the maintenance and improvement of publicly accessible observing events and astronomy outreach activities in service to the GMU student body and surrounding public community. The mission of the FOTO organization is to spread enthusiasm for Physics and Astronomy by fostering a community approach to living and learning in science. We volunteer in our community to teach, mentor, and communicate science, especially astronomy, to our friends, neighbors, and future scientists. We also encourage undergraduate students to participate in real astronomy research using the campus telescope."
