35th Annual Scholarship Reception
On May 5th, 2025 we recognized 5 young women from the Central New York region who are headed to college for STEM related majors in the coming fall. In addition to our members, we joined by representatives of several of our sponsors, the scholarship recipients, and the recipients families and teachers, as well as by our Keynote Speaker, Valerie Lisi, Associate Director of Engineering Sustainability for HVAC at Carrier. The event was held at Carrier, in East Syracuse, NY.
We are pleased to share that we received outstanding support from both long-term and new sponsors this year- raising the second highest amount in program history- enabling us to award a $3000 scholarship to each recipient. It was a lovely evening and we look forward to continuing the tradition in 2026.
Congratulations to our 2025 Scholarship Recipients! We wish you the best of luck as you begin your college educations next fall!
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the event to recognize these amazing young women and help celebrate the 35th year of our program. Thank you to Valerie for your wonderful Keynote Speech on this year’s theme of “Endure and Adapt”! And special thanks to all of our sponsors who continue to make the program possible!
