Academic Boosters Club incoming Board Chair Jill Harry (right) hands American Association of University Women (AAUW) Dinner with a Scientist Coordinator Marilyn Saunders a check in the amount of $600 in support of next year's event at UC Merced. This is the fourth year that ABC is supporting the event as it fits perfectly with ABC's mission of supplementing and enriching academic experiences for MCHS students.

This current school year, AAUW was able to send 75 young women from Mariposa County High School to UC Merced for lab visits and dinner with female professionals in science-related fields, encouraging female students to continue pursuing their studies in what historically have been male-dominated fields. AAUW hopes to send even more MCHS female students to next school year's event.

Mariposa Academic Boosters Club, Inc., is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization supporting Mariposa County High School. For more information, visit ABC's web page and follow them on Facebook.
