Field Experience for woman :)

As many of you know, Girls on Ice is a program designed to connect high
school girls with field science (particularly alpine geology and
glaciology) and mountaineering. We run the program tuition free to
provide opportunities to girls from all backgrounds. Girls on Ice has
been going on in various forms since 1999. Many of you have helped
support the program by spreading the word to girls who might be
interested in applying. Thank you!

Girls on Ice is currently going through a transition in terms of our
institutional affiliation. The University of Alaska Fairbanks will now
be in the institutional host for the program and we are hoping to expand
and evolve the program in new and exciting ways.

We have a new website:

http://girlsonice.org

which has quite a bit of information and more will be added soon.

We will shortly be announcing the Summer 2009 program. Please pass on
this information  - to girls, to teachers, to faculty in other fields,
to anyone you might know who would be interested and supportive of the
program.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you and Happy New Year,
Erin
