Reminder about June Meeting: We have made a change to the June meeting to partner with SciGirls. So many of you are involved in SciGirls programming, we felt that scheduling this webinar in the NGCP Community meeting time period would be helpful to you. The new SciGirls Strategies, based on a comprehensive literature review and extensive feedback from SciGirls educators and trainers, will debut on June 12th via a special one-hour SciGirls/National Girls Collaborative Live Stream starting at 1pm CT. (This work is funded by the National Science Foundation.) You will need to register for this webinar here: https://ngcproject.org/scigirls-strategies-live-stream-0. The revised NGCP Community Meeting schedule is attached. Best, Erin Hogeboom Director of Strategic Partnerships Pronouns: she/her National Girls Collaborative Project<https://ngcproject.org/> | The Connectory<https://theconnectory.org/> | FabFems<https://fabfems.org/>
