The EYH Network (formerly the Math/Science Network) started in 1974 as an informal group of women scientists and educators in the San Francisco Bay Area who were concerned about low female participation in math courses. They began planning coordinated efforts to strengthen their individual programs and establish mutual support on a volunteer basis.
In 1978, the Carnegie Corporation awarded the Network a two-year grant to establish a formal organization at Mills College for the purpose of coordinating existing activities and resources, consolidating existing materials and information, and providing technical assistance to others wishing to institute Network programs. The Math/Science Resource Center was founded in 1980 as part of a renewal grant, and its professional staff have been working with the volunteer members ever since. In 1982, the Math/Science Network became an independent, non-profit educational organization. The members of the Board of Directors of the Network work in education, government, industry and research. The Network offices were located on the Mills College campus until the Spring of 1988, when we relocated to Berkeley. In the Summer of 1994, the Network returned to Mills at the invitation of the College and occupied offices in Mills Hall, a newly-renovated building designated as an historic site. Our office is currently located in the Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics Building. |
