Oct 19, 2004 - WEE approved as a Stanford Student Organization

WEE was today approved as a Voluntary Student Organization (VSO) by the Stanford Office of Student Activities (OSA). This, among other things, opens the door for WEE to get funding from the Graduate Students Council (GSC) so it is very important. Now we just need to write a constitution to become official. :)

Oct 17, 2004 - Sally Ride Science Festival

WEE participated in a Sally Ride Science Festival on campus this year and it was a huge success!! Sarah Harriman (with debugging help from Augusto Roman) built an EKG (electro-cardio-gram), as suggested by Viola Rieke. Sarah manned the table at the festival along with Taly Gilat, and no doubt made a good impression on many of the young girls (and boys, along with their parents) that stopped by to try the EKG. SEE PICTURES!

Sept 28, 2004 - Big Sister/Little Sister Program Kick-Off

Today we matched up over twenty pairs of big and little sisters! The matching was done during a lunch meeting, where everybody introduced themselves and by going from person to person we found a big sister/little sister to suit everyone! Those that could not attend the meeting, but emailed us, were matched up later.
