Nutrisystem, Inc. Extends Relationship with the
American Heart Association Through Go Red for Women with This New
Key Initiative for the Organization
Nutrisystem, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTRI), a leading provider of
weight management products and services including Nutrisystem® and
South Beach Diet® brands, announced today that Dawn Zier, president
& CEO of Nutrisystem, Inc. will address 10th and 11th grade
students from the Philadelphia School District for the
organization’s inaugural STEM Goes Red event on November 13,
2018.
STEM Goes Red is an extension of Nutrisystem’s ongoing support
of the American Heart Association and the annual Go Red For Women
campaign in the greater Philadelphia region. Zier, who holds a
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
and a Master of Business Administration from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) along with a Bachelor of Science in
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Stony Brook
University, will speak with students about women in sciences and
how her educational background in engineering shaped her
career.
“I look forward to speaking with these exceptional young women
and encouraging them to consider pursuing a career in STEM,” says
Zier. “More women at the table means more bright minds pursuing
complex solutions for today’s environmental, healthcare and
engineering problems.”
STEM Goes Red is a program that aims to prepare and
excite female students for the nearly eight million science,
technology, engineering and math jobs that will be available by the
end of 2018. Even with an abundance of positions readily available,
only three in 100 female undergraduate students continue working
towards a career in STEM fields after graduation – a statistic that
STEM Goes Red is aiming to impact.
Philadelphia School District students in attendance will have
the opportunity to participate in hands-on breakout sessions as
well as speed mentoring sessions led by female leaders, including
several from Nutrisystem.
STEM Goes Red will take place at the Philadelphia School
District Building, 400 North Broad Street in Philadelphia on
Tuesday, November 13th from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm. For more
information, or for sponsorship opportunities, contact Ali Lang,
Senior Director of Go Red for Women Ali.lang@heart.org or
