Girls in Science and Engineering Day was created in 2011 as a unique event designed to inspire and empower Birmingham-area middle school girls to achieve and excel in science and engineering subjects/fields.  The event was created by UAB students, Alison Barnard (Physical Therapy) and Farah Khan (Medicine), two friends who believe that all girls can be successful in science, math, engineering, or any subjects they want!  Dr. Melanie Shores from the School of Education serves as a faculty advisor for GSED.
