The Women Innovators Club
The Women Innovators Club is designed to offer support and opportunities for students interested in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields. Right now, their focus is to curate events that provide opportunities for students to get more involved in the field. In the future, they aim to expand their efforts to students in the middle school and elementary school levels to promote more interest in STEM. An example of an event that they’ve had in the past was a private tour of the Idaho Forensics Laboratory and Astronomy Nights. This semester, they will be attending the annual SheTech Conference held at the College of Idaho and will also be bringing in various speakers that are professionals in STEM fields. Another event they’re working on is a mentorship day where club members will shadow a student at BSU for a day, who is currently studying a STEM-related field at BSU.
Yearbook
The Yearbook staff is in production mode, working on covering as many students as possible in the 2024 to 2025 yearbook. As people start to think about course selection, the yearbook staff would like to explain a little about the process of joining Yearbook. To be recruited to the program, Ms. Thornton sends out an email to the students she views would be a good fit to help produce the yearbook each year. After receiving an email, the student must fill out a form that has them write why they want to join. Part of the form includes getting three teacher recommendations, one being the student’s past English teacher. If anyone is interested in being a part of the Yearbook staff, see Ms. Thornton in E214.
