25th Expanding Your Horizons Conference

The 25th Annual Conference for Young Women in Grades 6, 7 and 8, Their Teachers, Parents and Counselors will be held Saturday, Feb. 25, 8 a.m.-3:15 p.m. at Spring Forest Middle School. 

Expanding Your Horizons, a day-long conference sponsored by the West Harris County branch of the American Association of University Women, provides career information and role models for middle school girls. Professional women share their enthusiasm, education requirements and remuneration working in scientific, technical and financial careers with more than 400 girls, their parents and teachers. These creative people don’t lecture the kids but involve them in various ways to create hands-on experiences in every one of the workshops. The message is that there are both personal and monetary rewards for taking math and science in middle and high school.
