The Raise Project

I was reading up on many different articles to see women that have had successes in the business world and ran along this article on women in science, research, and acedemics. I was fascinated by this article on a thing called The RAISE Project which is a program of the Society for Women’s Health Research. They try to work in helping women gain respect in fields such as engineering, medicine, and science. This article interested me because I am a packaging science major which is considered an engineering degree and the other schools that offer this major. The main goal of the RAISE Projectis to give scholarships to women and make women aware of scholarships they may not have known about. I think it's a wonderful program that is out there giving women the opportunities that they may not have know about. The article gives alot of good statistics on the amount of rewards given to women in respect to men. I just think this article is great and has a lot of good information. There is also a link to the RAISE project website as well if you have any interest in reading about what it is all about.
