Students engage with Tamar Goulet regarding STEM

As part of its ongoing “Girls in STEM” initiative, the SCILS Region 8 LaSTEM Center invited area middle and high school female students to participate in the special seminar program featuring Tamar Goulet, a strong advocate for women in STEM, having been selected as one of 120 ambassadors for the American Association of the Advancement of Science (AAAS) IF/ THEN Initiative. Goulet was on the Louisiana Tech University campus courtesy of a proposal submitted by Dr. Jamie Newman and funded by the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science.
