SPECIAL EVENTS:

Young Women's Recognition Night, scheduled for March 11, 2008 from 7 – 9 pm, was conceived to encourage young girls to continue to pursue math and science studies in high school and in higher education; it is aligned with our mission of equity in education, promoting math and science and increasing self-esteem. In 2006 forty-seven girls, grades 6-8, were selected by their math and science teachers at Dorseyville Middle School to be honored for their enthusiasm, excellence and promise in the study of math or science. The evening’s program included the presentation of certificates to the middle school girls and the awarding of three annual scholarships of $1000 each to young women who are pursuing math or science or career paths that are considered non-traditional for women. There also was a panel of young women professionals working in areas related to math and science who discussed their educational paths, their careers and what encouraged them to pursue the areas in which they work.

The 2006 high school scholarship winners: Betsy, Maya, and Corrie.
