S.M.A.R.T Women Mentoring Program
In mid-September, our firm’s President, Alison Hall, spoke at UNR to introduce the upcoming Spring 2024 mentorship program. The S.M.A.R.T (STEM Mentorship and Resource Team) Committee is a group of talented female professionals from across the state of Nevada who formed a committee to promote growth and mentorship for female students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. The organization provides opportunities for career exploration in STEM fields by linking students with female professionals in the same arena. This group was started after a STEM professional continued to notice the discrepancies in the number of women applying for jobs at her agency to the number of men. When she could not find a local program that supported young women in STEM fields of study, she sought partners to join her in starting one. S.M.A.R.T’s mission is to increase representation and retention of women in STEM fields by facilitating career exploration, supporting shadow and mentor opportunities, and connecting students with professionals to broaden awareness of STEM careers. S.M.A.R.T’s vision is to Empower women to learn and succeed in STEM fields by creating a synergy between students, industry leaders, and university professionals through meaningful and impactful experiential opportunities.
