More than 400 high school girls and from all over the Atlanta region brought their love of technology, math and science to DeVry University's Atlanta campus for a "Young Women in Science and Technology" event. Part of DeVry's HerWorld program, the program was aimed at encouraging and reinforcing young women's interest in technology involving careers in business-related fields. Speakers represented different careers in technology and business. According to Marilyn Savage, Manager of the Information Technology Department for DeVry University/Georgia, "These young women have a clear understanding of what industry will need in the future, whether the position is in technology, like mine, or in business, where technology is the key facilitator."
