"If you are a girl with dreams of pursuing a career in science, engineering, or medicine, make the Smith College Summer Science and Engineering Program part of your plan. A month in the summer at Smith will give you an exceptional opportunity to do science, enhance your skills, boost your confidence, and connect with professionals who will support your efforts. You will also make new friends from all over the world who share your interests. Since it was initiated in 1990, more than 1,000 high school girls from across America and abroad have participated in this innovative program. After the program, participants report that they return to high school better prepared to tackle tough science courses and better informed about what to expect in college."
