What is EYH?

Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) Conferences offer a unique - and fun! - opportunity for young women in middle and high school to explore their career options through small hands-on technical career workshops led by female professionals from their local community who have found satisfying careers in law, mathematics, engineering, computing, medicine, and other technical and non-traditional careers. The conferences also include a component for the teachers and other adults who accompany the students to EYH.

national EYH Girls Area - includes description of typical EYH conference, a chat area, video interviews of role models, timeline of women's contributions, etc.

  NMNWSE Conferences and Contacts

Currently three NMNWSE EYH conferences are held each spring in southern, central, and northern New Mexico, usually in late February or March to coincide with Women's History Month. We are in the process of adding two more in southern NM - one in fall and one in spring - contact the NMNWSE Board if you'd like to sponsor or be involved. The NMNWSE EYH conferences are licensed from the national Expanding Your Horizons Network by the New Mexico Network for Women in Science and Engineering (NMNWSE), as part of NMNWSE's mission to encourage the the entry into and career development of women in science and engineering professions. Conference attendees are given a copy of NMNWSE's Career Book, along with student and adult information packets developed by the national EYH Network, and other career information which emphasizes that taking math and science courses in school opens the doors to a wide variety of rewarding careers.
