Westminster student, professor participate in mentor program Share on: Posted on Friday, December 18, 2020 Career paths don’t always run in straight lines and two women from Westminster College—student Shaemour Young and professor Dr. Helen Boylan—emphasized that to local high school students during a virtual “A GEM Affair: Girls Engaging Mentors” event on Tuesday, Dec. 15. Coordinated by the Lawrence County School-to-Work Program, GEM’s mission is to inspire young girls to pursue careers in STEM fields or other non-traditional pathways. More than 70 ninth-graders from 10 Lawrence County schools participated in the program and had the opportunity interact with successful women from varying careers and fields such as environmental health and safety, quality engineering, environmental education, accounting and pharmacy.
