As usual, registration is on a first-come first-serve basis, so please urge parents to mail in the forms at their earliest convenience to assure a spot for their daughters. We appreciate your help with informing parents and students of this program, and please let us know if you have any questions!

If your daughter is in the 7th grade or higher and previously participated in FEMMES, please disregard the previous paragraphs. If your daughter is in the 7th grade or higher and is interested in becoming a junior counselor for this event, please email FEMMESatDuke@gmail.com.

We encourage the girls to explore their potential in math, engineering, and science through an annual, free-of-charge, one-day capstone event and several after-school programs. Through FEMMES, female Duke undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members volunteer their time to instill enthusiasm about their careers in the developing minds of young women. The Duke students form personal relationships with the participants of our programs and have a positive influence on the girls’ views of women in math, engineering, and science.
