Ksenija has traveled widely in Thailand and Cambodia raising funds to assist local communities in those countries to build wells, start small businesses, and provide educational supplies to young people. Ksenija is currently in Cambodia with a group of Saint Mary's students. Some of them will be available to join her for a presentation that will be accompanied by photographs and shared stories.

These outstanding young women were nominated by their science and math teachers at Lamorinda Intermediate Schools.

Plan on attending this meeting to meet these incredible girls and hear about their goals and passions. We will also honor and present the four branch scholarship winners chosen from each local High School and St Mary's College.

"From Mudflats to Mars: A Personal Odyssey" will be the keynote presentation by margaret RaceMargaret Race, PhD, for this awards program. Dr. Race is an ecologist who works with NASA and the SETI institute.
