Girls Leading Girls in Science Fourth Annual Abbey Day Successful!

Friday, March 30, 2012

Girls Leading Girls in Science was a wonderful success!  The fifth grade girls arrived early from a local elementary school for Abbey Day.  The day began with an engaging Lorax lesson on sustainability implemented by education majors.  After that the fifth grade girls and their mentors

attended a college STEM class and toured the campus.  The girls and their mentors returned to the education department for a luncheon with women from the community in STEM careers.  Lively conversation was had at lunch about their careers and how they got into their current positions.

Perhaps some of the fifth grade girls will consider exploring a STEM career as a result of this engaging day.  I hope so!
