CRPC HELPS EXPAND HORIZONS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS

For the third year in a row, the CRPC provided participant financial support for 25 teachers and their students to attend the fifth annual "Expanding Your Horizons in Science and Mathematics" (EYH) Conference, held April 5 at the Rice School/La Escuela Rice in Houston. More than 500 Houston-area middle-school girls of diverse races and backgrounds attended workshops led by women working in math- and science-related fields. In addition, teachers, parents, and counselors learned how to recognize and eliminate gender inequities in the classroom, how to boost student self-esteem, and how to guide middle-school girls in selecting courses that will prepare them for math and science careers.

CRPC presenters included Linda Torczon and Sara Carlstead ("Surfing the Internet"), Cynthia Lanius ("Math-to-Go"), and Susan Boone ("Netlearning: Why Teachers Use the Internet"). The conference was organized by the West Harris County Branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Since 1979, EYH conferences across the United States and Canada have reached some 400,000 middle-school girls.
