On Nov. 4, the Admission team collaborated with Erika Doctor, Alanna Lecher and Kimberly Rowland, associate professors in the College of Arts and Sciences, to conduct the second annual Women in Science conference.
The event consisted of middle school, high school and current Lynn University students and parents, totaling 30 female attendees looking to make an impact in the field of science.
Participants had the opportunity to:
- Learn about what current students are working on in the lab
- Network with Lynn faculty members and other female scientists
- Attend different skills workshops
Current Lynn students also presented their own research to participants in the conference. During the research poster session of the program, Lecher and Antonella Regueiro, director of the center for social impact, presented the "best science communicator" award to the student who was able to best explain their research to prospective students. Congratulations to Meagan Ashworth.
This event helps support Lynn's commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) #5, which strives to achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
