(1) Volunteers Needed for Cultural Science Day at Harvard-Kent – Friday, February 28 (Students)
From Kerry Kearns, Office of Student and Alumni Services
The second Annual Cultural Science Day at Harvard-Kent Elementary School will be held on Friday, February 28, 9:15 a.m.–1:20 p.m. We need student volunteers to portray scientists in fun, interactive, and educational sessions with Harvard-Kent students. A recent meta-analysis concluded that when asked to draw a scientist, the overwhelming majority of children draw male scientists, and that this trend increases with age. The aim of this program is to expose children to scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in a variety of fields, including the rehabilitation and nursing sciences. If you are interested in volunteering, even for part of the day,
please sign up. Any questions can be directed to
JP Bonadonna.
