Stories of Female PhD's Solving Real World Problems
 
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela
 
Philosophiae Doctors, or more commonly referred to as PhD graduates, have achieved the highest levels of education to include writing and defending their dissertation comprised of ideas, experiments, and proven results. The World Economic Forum has proven education is the key to economic growth.
For our third quarterly Evening Series Event, we're bringing together four female STEM PhD's to not only celebrate their grit and determination for knowledge, but to learn from their studies. This is an opportunity to gain insights from extensive and complex research, including how corporations and government entities are approaching solutions to some of the most challenging problems we face today.
Invite a friend and join us as we network by learning and talking big ideas together. Drinks and light appetizers will be provided. Parking is easy and free! #WTCPhD #FWPMI

Community Outreach Volunteer Opportunities
 

On Saturday, October 13^th, in lieu of a monthly chapter dinner meeting, the Fort Worth chapter is conducting a community outreach activity to serve the Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth.  The Ronald McDonald House of Fort Worth (RMHFW) provides a supportive, home-away-from-home for families of children receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.  One of RMHFW’s wonderful volunteer opportunities is a program called Meals from the Heart, which allows groups to go into the Ronald McDonald House kitchen and prepare a home cooked meal for the parentsstaying there.  Providing meals is a way for families to rest and recharge to help them push through their day. Meals from the Heart is a core program provided to families, but it also creates wonderful volunteer opportunities for groups.

We will be preparing and serving a meal to serve to the parents who are in residence that day (as many as 100).  The planning team has already begun meeting to plan the menu, recipes, preparation instructions, budget, shopping lists, and purchase the ingredients.   


Volunteer opportunities are now open for the Execution Team 

 
“Day of” Execution Team:
 
The “day of” execution team will arrive at the Ronald McDonald House kitchen on Saturday, Oct 13^th at 4:30 to prepare the meal according to instructions developed by the planning team, then serve up to 100 resident parents starting at 6:00, followed by cleanup.  
 
All team volunteer job opportunities will be posted in VRMS (https://vrms.pmi.org) under the name:
