Ladies of the rising junior and senior classes–
Are you interested in an overnight field trip to attend the Global Women in STEM Leadership Summit ? This two-day conference will be held Monday and Tuesday, September 14 and 15, at the InterContinental Buckhead Hotel in Atlanta. It features inspiring keynote speakers, panels, and hands-on workshops—all focused on empowering young women to pursue leadership in STEM fields. This is our interim week, but if you are not otherwise engaged with the Costa Rica trip or college visits, this will be an excused absence from Interim Week activities on Monday and Tuesday.
In addition to looking great on a resume or college application, this is truly a fun and motivating experience. You’ll meet trailblazing women from a variety of STEM careers, learn about fields you may never have considered, and enjoy a meaningful couple of days of learning and fun with classmates. It is a professional conference, so professional attire and professional conduct are required! You must represent yourself, your family, and the school well.
A few details:
Location: InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta Hotel
Conference Dates: Monday and Tuesday, September 14-15, 2026
Hotel Stay: We will stay at the conference hotel Sunday night (9/13) through Tuesday (9/15), checking out after the event concludes. We will arrive back to school around 8:30 pm on Tuesday evening.
Estimated Cost: We have been given a 20% discount on registration by the conference founder and chair (and former ACAD parent). Cost will be around $1000 per student (includes registration, hotel, and most meals and snacks)
Who Can Go: We need at least 4 students to make it happen. A maximum of 12 can attend
The science department will coordinate all arrangements—including registering for the conference and booking hotel accommodations at the group rate. Once final costs are determined, families will reimburse the school for the total amount. The more students we bring, the more affordable it will be per person. I’ve attended this event several times, and each time the students who came with me got so much out of the experience. It’s a great way to explore future possibilities in STEM while building confidence and connections.
If you’d like to hear more, consider reaching out to ladies who all participated last fall. They were Evangeline Bina, Maddie Lacey, Emma-Jane Kirk, Chloe McPherson-Kim, Copeland Cowart,Sophia Coppins, Bay Williams, Eva Saraf, Callie Bernstein, Wells Johnson, Mia Lee, and Maggie Cowart. I am sure they will give you their honest review!
Let Dr. Scott know if you’re interested with an email response as soon as possible please!
