Upcoming Events – Save the Dates!

 AAUW-Seattle is proud to have founded SEYH in 1988, and our branch continues its support of this wonderful event. As many as 410 middle school girls participate in a half-day conference of “hands-on” workshops in science, technology, engineering and math. Women biologists, botanists, engineers, veterinarians, and many other local professional women enthusiastically volunteer their time to host workshops that introduce girls to exciting careers involving math, science and computer technology. Further details can be found at: http://www.seattleu.edu/seyh .

Volunteers assist with check-in, set up, support for presenters, lunch duties and more. The average volunteer day begins at 7:30 and ends at 2:00 pm, with some volunteers arriving earlier or working for only part of the conference. There will be at least 125 volunteers joining us from throughout the community.

Please join us! To volunteer please reply via email to volunteer@seyh.org or call (206) 296-2117, and leave a message as soon as possible.

If you are not available on March 10, other volunteer opportunities include packet stuffing and water bottle washing beginning at 5 PM on Wednesday, February 29.  Meet at Room 405 of Bannan Engineering.

Plan to join Seattle Branch members in this wonderful opportunity to promote equity for women and girls.

You will be contacted regarding information on parking and other details.
