Volunteer for girls’ conference
Posted by Peter Ehrhard
Women are needed as volunteer guides for attendees of the 15th annual Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) conference that will be held Friday, Nov. 7, at Missouri S&T. EYH helps 7th- and 8th-grade girls learn about careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields. The event brings more than 450 students to campus.
EYH is a one-day conference at Missouri S&T that allows girls to interact with women working in traditionally male occupations. The girls participate in hands-on workshops, meet other young women with similar interests and learn about career opportunities.
Female faculty, staff, students and community members are encouraged to volunteer. Guiding is a great way to contribute to the students’ experience on campus. The hours are 8:15 a.m.-1:15 p.m. and lunch is provided for all volunteers. Sign-up to volunteer by Monday, Oct. 20, at eyh.mst.edu or contact Michelle Wiginton at 341-4835.
