WEST Conference

An annual event held on campus at Harvey Mudd College, we welcome female high school students in the area to visit our campus, participate in a day of science and engineering workshops, and get a flavor of being a female scientist for the day.

Participants have the opportunity to attend two workshops presented by our female professors, one workshop in engineering and another workshop in either biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or physics. Attending students are allowed a chance to listen and question a panel of current female Mudd students from each technical major. In addition the lunch and break times are good opportunities for participants to chat with professors and current students. Lunch and snacks are provided.

This year, the conference was held on Saturday, March 4, 2006. 155 Participants pre-registered and more registered at the door.
