EXPANDING YOUR HORIZONS
Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) conferences began over 30 years ago through the EYH Network at Mills College in Oakland, California. Conferences are now held annually at campuses throughout the United States. The goal of EYH conferences is to encourage young women to study math and science by showing the benefits of such education to their lives and by stimulating their interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers.
Since 2000, UC Santa Cruz has hosted an annual EYH conference for 8th – 12th grade young women and interested adults. The daylong conference, which attracts an average of 200 participants, includes a morning plenary session with a keynote speaker followed by morning and afternoon workshops lead by women in STEM professional and research careers.
Follow the links at left for information on registering for this year’s EYH conference. Information is also available for presenters and potential sponsors.
