The Perry Initiative: Saturday, April 14, 2018




Hi William ,
We’re very excited to announce an upcoming Perry Outreach Program on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at Duke University in Durham, NC. The Perry Outreach Program is a free, one-day, hands-on experience for high school women who are interested in pursuing careers in medicine and engineering. Students will hear from women leaders in these fields and try it for themselves by performing mock orthopaedic surgeries and biomechanics experiments.
We are now seeking applicants for our Durham, NC program. Participants should be women in grades 10 and up with an expressed interest in science, medicine and/or engineering.  We would very much appreciate if you could pass this information along to any high school principals, high school science teachers or high school students you may know.  Applicants should be directed to fill out our online application in advance of the March 14, 2018 application deadline.
Additional information can be found on our website: www.perryinitiative.org
The application may be accessed directly using the following link: http://perryinitiative.org/programs/student-online-application/
More information and a printable flyer for this event can be found here. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have.  Again, we sincerely appreciate your help in identifying qualified applicants for our program.
All the best,
Hannah Heuschneider, Program Coordinator
