The 2005 Parent and Daughter Career Night was held on Tuesday, April 26.Thanks to all the participants that made it a great success!
If you miss this event or want to know more about what happen that night, please read the Press Release, take a look at some of the pictures of the event and check the video (download Real Player).
Don't forget to keep visiting this page for more information on this now annual event.

Research has shown that one factor that discourages women from selecting certain career areas is their traditional inexperience with hands-on mechanical “playing” and experimenting; thus, one of the innovative activities planned for the year are workshops where women can work on engines, build computers, and perform cabling tasks.

The primary purpose of the club is to provide support, encouragement, and survival strategies for women in largely male environments.

We had a great time and we hope you had learned a lot and enjoyed the wonderful events that we had this semester. We are starting to plan our up coming events so keep an eye for more information.

If you want to be a part of our club, please contact Connie Elder (619) 660-4321 or at Connie.Elder@gcccd.net.

Our next meeting will be held at the beginning of the 2005 Fall semester. We will have more information soon!
