"I attended the Girls Camp when I was a senior in high school and still remember the labs I did back in 2015! It has been a joy returning and sitting on the Careers Panel, having been on the Students Panel at Girls Camp in 2019. I have many connections from attending the Girls Camps over the years; a few of these connections were high school attendees and are currently engineering students."
