Grow Your Knowledge

NOVA episodes bring them together.

Suzan lives in coastal North

Carolina and her family

was raised with PBS North

Carolina. As a professor,

Suzan was drawn to

educational PBS programs for

her young son. Today, son

Alex is an adult and PBS still

connects them.

Alex works in the Hollywood

film industry and focuses

on camera array remote

software and production, where he holds U.S. patents. Suzan

is a part-time adjunct college professor of Art History. While

their professions may seem distant, a mutual enthusiasm for

quantum mechanics and aesthetics inspires them both to

enjoy NOVA episodes that bridge art and science.

Because of your generous

donations to PBS North

Carolina, viewers like Suzan

and Alex continue to grow

together, in knowledge and

connection. Thank you for helping us nurture these bonds

and foster relationships positively impacted by PBS North

Carolina. Your support makes it all possible.

Growing together,

Becca Lockhart

Director of Integrated Fundraising
