Your partnership empowers us to sustain our impactful educational programs year-round, including STEMFems, "See It, Be It", and Talks on the Road. Your support makes this vital work possible, and we are profoundly grateful for your commitment!

The event includes a reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres from 6-7 PM, followed by the Induction Ceremony from 7-8:30 PM.
