GET INVOLVED--VOLUNTEER FOR AN AWIS COMMITTEE--NO
EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP COMMITTEE
AWIS-MA will be hosting a series of leadership
workshops this fall. These workshops will be geared towards undergraduates,
graduates and post docs and will focus on the "soft" skills that
are needed to succeed in science (e.g. communication, leadership and interviewing).
We are now forming a planninng committee so if you have any ideas and are
willing to help out, please contact Karen Yee. We would like to have our
first meeting in June with a target date for October.
K-12 OUTREACH COMMITTEES
1) Committee to coordinate requests for volunteers from other organizaitons.
LeAnn Williams has already offered to step up and help coordinate AWIS
volunteers for women in science and girls in science events (we get these
requests all the time). You can let us know if you would like to be on
her list of volunteers or if you would like to help her in coordinating
as well.
2) Committee to work on a "visiting AWIS scientists" program
We have so many talented women working in so many areas that we thought
we might be able to coordinate school visitors and event visitors with
demos or presentations on many areas of science. I think Nadien Gaab and
Natalie Catlett already offered to get started in this area so again we
could use volunteers and other coordinating committee members to figure
out how to go forward.
3) Committee to work on forming our own AWIS Science Club for Girls SCFG
has curricula for girls in K-12 with a program that develops girls to start
helping lead the program of younger girls in 8th grade and above. Seems
like we can use there programs and start our own "club" maybe
at Shelly's school! We will need some people to help chair this effort
and figure out how to get started!
