Dear WISDOM Members,

The WISDOM Learner Committee is coordinating an exciting event for International Day for Women and Girls in Science! On February 11th from 8-4pm, WISDOM is hosting an event at Ecole John Henderson Middle School where volunteers will run several booths focussing on highlighting achievements in women in science or fun experiments. You do not have to volunteer for the entire time, you can enter a timeslot you are available for. We will also try our best to organize transportation if necessary.

The goal of this event is to engage students, specifically girls, and promote careers in science! All genders are encouraged to volunteer for this opportunity so feel free to share with your departments/labs/groups!

Register to volunteer via the link by Feb 1st!! https://forms.gle/oGPz19YEYDem2SXY7
