From the Director... | |
Hi Everyone,
The start of the school year is quickly approaching for
my campus. Girls Raised In Tennessee Science in grades K-12 are
already in class. With this in mind, I thought that
I would share some thoughts about the importance
of mentors. Girls in STEM tell us that their parents and
teachers play a major role in their STEM education and career.
I can speak to that because my general chemistry teacher told me
that I was a chemist. I listened and am glad that I did. Now I share the
wisdom that I have learned from my mentors with my students.
One such nugget is " to have fun with your friends and family and
as a scientist." I take joy in a reaction that works, even after
many trials. What words of wisdom would you share with Girls
Raised In Tennessee Science? Send them to me and I will post in a
future newsletter.Thank you for your continued support of the GRITS
Collaborative Project!
