Today was our final day in London and it was also the day that we made our presentation at the Association of Maintained Girls' Schools Conference. The conference was attended by Heads of Girls' Schools from all over England. The speakers were excellent and they discussed a wide range of topics including the lack of girls in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) fields, issues facing girls today and how schools can go from good to great.
We were the last to speak at the conference today. Mrs. Bauer presented information on issues facing girls in the USA, national organizations and resources in the USA for Girls' Schools and ways that schools can connect virtually. I presented information on our Sister School relationships and partnerships as well as on some of the other student activities at UA related to Global Education.

Our British counterparts were most complimentary about out presentations and we agreed that there are countless ways that we can continue to connect "across the pond." The evening ended with a beautiful banquet in our lovely conference hotel which has a breathtaking view of Big Ben. And tomorrow we will head home and bid farewell to our British friends who have been such gracious and attentive hosts this past week. Cheers!
