Stephens College Offers Saturday Afternoon Science Programs

KRCG-TV posted an article February 18, 2017, "Stephens College promotes women in science fields," by Caileigh Peterson that focuses on the institution's initial Saturday Afternoon Science program.  Peterson interviewed Erin Sellner, assistant professor of biochemistry, who led the session that is designed for young women in grades six through eight.  Sellner indicated that she hopes that "that STEM fields gain more fierce females," and that "...active engagement fosters a real passion and interest that can be maintained and we'll start to see an increase in women who are actually going to college and then staying in the field."
