Your corporate support, time and expertise made it possible. Thank you for being a part of an amazing day!” ![Shani Hall at STEM center working with young students](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Shani-Hall-STEM.jpg?width=1200&name=Shani-Hall-STEM.jpg)Currently, statistics show that only 3 out of every 100 women that graduate college enter STEM-related careers. Because of this, and as a science-based organization, the [American Heart Association](https://www.heart.org/) recognizes the need for more women at the table — particularly in male-dominated STEM fields. "The American Heart Association put on a fantastic event and I am honored to have been a part of it," said Sarah Gregory, Environmental Analyst with Regency Centers. "I loved seeing the girls engaged in activities that explored some of the practical and innovative ways STEM is used in their everyday lives.
