Agreed to by the House of Delegates, March 7, 2022

 

WHEREAS, Rohini Das, a senior at the Academies of Loudoun in Leesburg, has inspired girls and boys to pursue their interests in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through various endeavors; and

WHEREAS, dedicated to empowering young women to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers, Rohini Das created a video series and online platform, called “STEMinist Stories,” to share success stories of women working in these fields; and
