Socorro High Girls Attend Career Event

The girls in Mrs. Azza Ezzat’s Forensic Science class at Socorro High School traveled to San Diego on September 20 to explore careers in science.
The trip was part of a grant that supports opportunities for women. The students visited the lab of the forensic science department at National University, attended lectures and came back on September 23.
The girls had the chance to learn about career prospects in the field of forensic science as a non-traditional profession. 
The first day, the students heard a lecture about the importance of soil in forensic science, and visited a lab where they learned to compare different known soil samples with an unknown soil to decide which one belong to a suspected crime scene. 
The second day, the lecture was presented by the forensic scientist who discussed medical investigation into rape, abortions and blood. In the second lab they learned how to determine from the distribution of blood drops at what angle and height they came from. 
The girls who attended the learning experience were Kim Long, Samantha Acosta, Dianna Herrera, Alma Leon, Veronica Padilla, Jordan Winningham, Anika Driver and Nicole Engler. The students were also chaperoned by Mrs. Trujillo. The field trip was also a chance for some the girls to experience flying for the first time and enjoy the ocean.
