a career conference for 6th-7th-8th grade girls
AAUW and Schreiner University will sponsor a career conference entitled "Expanding Your Horizons in Math and Science" for young girls in the Hill Country area on Saturday, November 21,2009, on the Schreiner campus. The conference is designed to introduce girls in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades to careers in mathematics, science and related disciplines. This is an annual event with over 250 girls attending last year’s conference
The goals of the EYH conference are to 1) increase young women's interest in science and math; 2) foster awareness of career opportunities for women in math and science related fields; 3) provide students with an opportunity to meet and form personal contacts with women in nontraditional occupations.
Sessions for the girls will, depending on availability of facilitators, discuss careers in: medicine genetics dentistry veterinary medicine computer science psychology landscape design physical therapy statistics engineering speech pathology forensic science pharmacy infection control microbiology nursing and others.
Parent Sessions: Parents are encouraged to support their daughters as they attend this conference. Special discussion sessions for parents will be available during the morning. Topics may include recommended high school course choices to enhance college opportunities, college financing, and other parenting issues important to you as your daughter begins to consider career options.
