Expanding Your Horizons, or EYH, helps girls and young women investigate science and mathematics careers, talk with women in math and science, attend science and math workshops with their peers, participate in hands-on activities and meet girls interested in the STEM disciplines of math, science, engineering and technology.

MTSU has been the home of EYH since 1997.

Dr. Judith Iriarte-Gross, director of the MTSU WISTEM (Women in STEM) Center and chemistry professor, is EYH director. Students, faculty and staff volunteer their time for the event.
