Up Conference Aimed at Girls with Futures in Sciences

The conference will be from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the university, 5000 N. Willamette Blvd.
The conference will consist of hands-on workshops that introduce girls to occupations in math, engineering, science and other non-traditional occupations that require solid high school math and science skills. Women scientists, mathematicians, engineers, tradeswomen and other community professionals will serve as role models, share career information and necessary education. Workshop sessions for parents and educators will be offered as well.
