This was the last full day in DC and I am now packed and ready to fly out tomorrow morning headed to San Francisco. Today was a productive day and has made this trip so far. I had the follow up meting today with NCSE, The National Council for Science and the Environment. I have noticed that when I am really excited about a project and the wheels in my brain start churning , I begin to speak very fast -well today was that kind of day. EnvironMentors is a fantastic program that connects high school students with science professionals, professors, undergrad and graduate students. Together the mentor pair work on a science experiment that develops skills of the student, ultimately preparing them for college and a career in the sciences. I am happy to announce that we are working towards developing the first EnvironMentors International Chapter. This affiliation will fulfill a component of YME that we have not yet been able to develop;the mentorship program and quality research projects. The structure of the EnvironMentor program will undoubtably take YME to another level and provide new educational opportunities for students throughout the Bahamas. Our goal is to be an official EnvironMentors Chapter by fall 2013 however we will be slowly introducing the EnvironMentors program beginning this september.
DC has proved to be a fantastic networking experience and I am sincerely looking forward to the new experiences to come.......
