THIS WEEK IN ROTARY
Elaine Yama
guchi spoke about Project SEED, initiated by the American Chemical Society. This project was established in 1968 to help disadvantaged high school students expand their education and career outlook. It provides opportunities for students who historically lack exposure to scientific careers to spend a summer conducting hands-on research with a scientist in academic, industry, and government research laboratories. For 8 to 10 weeks, SEED students have the unique opportunity to work with scientists, who help them develop laboratory, written and oral skills as they discover that they are capable of conducting scientific research. Mentors also provide guidance, encouragement, and letters of recommendation for college. Students receive a fellowship award for their efforts and a chance to receive a college scholarship.
