All About Dinner With a Scientist

This annual event organized by Mariposa AAUW (American Association of University Women) invites Mariposa 9-12 grade female students to enjoy an evening of dining and Q & A table talks with professional women who chose careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

Held on the campus of the University of California, Merced, the event brings together faculty and community professionals to engage Mariposa students.  There is no cost to participants and transportation is provided.

  • join women scientists over dinner and dessert on the UC Merced Campus;
  • talk with women who chose to work in scientific fields;
  • learn about careers in fields such as psychology, engineering, physics, mathematics, and more;
  • discover how these scientists mapped their path through college and into careers.
