MATH SCIENCE CONFERENCE for 8th GRADE GIRLS
Our Greater Whittier Area Branch will hold our 31st Math/Science Conference for 8th Grade Girls on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at Whittier College. We will host a total of 400 students and teacher advisors and they will hear from twenty women in STEM related careers. Each girl and advisor will hear from six of the twenty speakers.
I have been organizing this event since September, and we have sixteen schools participating, and the full list of twenty speakers. The speaker lists have been sent to the schools so that the students may choose their favorite five. I use their choices when setting up the three workshops.
Dolores Seidman is collecting volunteers for the event. There are many jobs and the conference begins early in the morning and ends at 12:45 PM. Coffee and rolls are available when you arrive, and you are invited to stay for lunch. If you have not signed up, please email Dolores to volunteer. Her email address is: deeseidman@gmail.com. You will be notified of your job closer to the event. Please do sign up to help make this 31st conference one of the best.
