John Bailer, chair in Statistics, sends word of this program focused at educating and encouraging young women in fields requiring technical and quantitative skills. I think many of our female faculty would contribute well to this event if it interested any of you. He writes:
The CIQS Day is an annual event exclusively for female high school students designed to attract and motivate the study of a career involving quantitative skills. For this event, we invite such students from high schools in Southwestern Ohio (including downtown Cincinnati) to come to campus, participate in activities with faculty and current students, listen to faculty and student presentations, and converse with women who are working in STEM fields and in fields where good quantitative skills are needed. It is our hope that by introducing the students to these fields early, and by exposing them to exciting aspects of our fields of study, they will become intrigued and motivated to study a STEM discipline or to continue to study quantitative methods regardless of future majors.
Those that are interested can contact me (or John) for more information, program, or publicity materials.
