| Here's an outline of the February 2008 Expanding Your Horizons Program. | ||
| STUDENTS ... Participate in three hands-on, interactive workshops led by women whose careers involve math, science or technology. Each small group of students will be guided to their workshops by a university student who will stay with the group throughout the day and answer questions about college. A box lunch will be served between the second and third sessions of the day. |
ADULTS ... Attend three workshops on topics ranging from understanding adolescent girls to planning for college. All adult sessions will be held in the Business School, near the Engineering Center. A box lunch will be served. Fathers are welcome and encouraged to attend! |
