If interested please contact Ms. Briggs. patrick +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Equity in Education Center at Utah Valley University is pleased to announce the Empowering Your Tomorrow (EYT) conference, being held on Saturday, November 7, 2009. This conference is designed for 6th-12th grade boys and introduces them to exciting educational opportunities and career choices. This conference is similar to the annual Expanding Your Horizons conference for girls, which will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2010. We are currently looking for someone interested in providing two, fifty minute interactive and hands-on presentations on a career as a Rocket & Space Scientist. A presentation that involves a hands-on activity and includes information about your field (education, skills, salary, job outlook, etc.) is an effective way to get the boys excited about an education and career in your field. The workshops are scheduled for 10:10 a.m. & 11:10 a.m. This will involve a time commitment from 9:30 a.m. to approximately 12:00 p.m. To show our gratitude for your willingness to share your expertise with these intelligent and motivated boys, you will receive lunch and commemorative EYT t-shirt. This will be the 4th annual EYT and we expect between 250 to 300 boys, parents and educators to attend. We also welcome you to join us for the keynote address starting at 8:00 a.m. and you are invited to stay for the hands-on interactive booths provided by UVU departments, other local universities and community organizations from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the UVU Grande Ballroom. If you are interested in presenting at the Empowering Your Tomorrow conference, please fill out the attached presenter information form and either e-mail it back or fax it to (801) 863-7041 as soon as possible. Also attached is the conference brochure and additional information about EYT and the Equity in Education Center is available at www.uvu.edu/equitycenter. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions you may have at (801) 863-8498 or via e-mail.
