The Clare Boothe Luce
Program stands alone as the single most significant source of
private support for women in science, engineering and mathematics.
A playwright, journalist, U.S. Ambassador to Italy, and Congresswoman,
Clare Boothe Luce understood the obstacles many women face in
their chosen professions. She sought "to encourage women
to enter, study, graduate, and teach" in the sciences (including
mathematics) and engineering.
The second Clare Boothe Luce Math and Science Summer Camp is a three-week day program that
will introduce young women to careers in the sciences using
laboratory activities and other hands-on experiences. Select
topics will be taught from subjects such as: statistics, cell
biology, genetics, microbiology, environmental science and physics.
