I’d hoped to have all of the details for each of these programs confirmed before sending this out, but I wanted to at least get the word out to give you a heads up. I will send a follow-up e-mail updating you on those events for which I am awaiting confirmed dates and locations.
If you already know you’d like to support one of these events, please get in touch with me as soon as you can. Your support and representation of the STEM community is much appreciated. And, it makes a difference. I’ve heard students refer to the influence the STEM role models have had on their interest in STEM. (And it was all positive!)
