Bring your girls to Lone Star College Kingwood as we talk about women with careers in STEM! March 29, 2016

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

Jill Jarvis BigKidSmallCity Headshot
This is something that is so simple, and something I never paid attention to growing up… but at my parent’s house, there were no differences between what the boys could do and the girls could do. And it turns out that 3 of us, 2 boys and 1 girl, studied engineering.

Growing up, it never ever crossed my mind that there were boy jobs and girl jobs… and I never thought it would be hard for a girl to be an engineer, lawyer, doctor, firefighter, teacher, nurse, or stay at home mom.

I was given all the same opportunities and had the same expectations placed on me… and I just happened to wear pink and have bows in my hair. And when I applied to colleges, I chose engineering and did not know it was a surprising choice.

So let me tell you now, what my parents never had to say out loud but showed me over and over as a kid… girls are not smarter or wiser or more capable than boys… but they are certainly equal, good enough and worthy.

Let me tell you more about my story, and about my career in telecommunication at Lone Star College-Kingwood on Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at 6:00pm! The event is FREE.

The college will host a series of three STEM career nights on March 29, April 14 and May 4 from 6-8:30 p.m. in the Student Conference Center. The series is sponsored by the Women’s Center, the Career Center and the Intercultural Center.

On On March 29, I will be joined by Colette Lewis, a mechanical engineer/manager, and Tammy Ahlgren, president at Mattco Manufacturing. After my talk, I am happy to meet with you and answer all your questions on my not-so-straight path through engineer, telecommunications, management and marketing.

If you have a girl that just might be interested in a career in a STEM field, please join me at the event. I’d love to see you there!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
