Dear Ms. Brossman,

I am writing to express my gratitude and appreciation of my students for the opportunities offered by Pathways '95. The young women who attended found the day to be exciting and motivating. The mixture of research presentations, lab tours, and poster displays was great. Students also enjoyed the opportunity to discuss the difficult issues of balancing career and family issues in an environment which celebrated the abilities and accomplishments of women. Perhaps of Equal importance, I sensed that the students left with a greater appreciation of the "human element" of science and mathematics, and with an awareness that doing science means working with many other people rather than spending many hours alone in a lab.

I hope you will forward copies of this letter or in some other way convey my appreciation to the organizations which sponsored this event. We look forward to Pathways '96!
