The Oracle Women’s Leadership (OWL) group organized a Day of the Girl event for young girls, local students and Oracle employees with their young daughters in middle school and high school. This was an opportunity to engage the local community and grow diversity within Oracle and the local STEM community. The event included personal stories and stations to explore to educate, inspire and empower young girls.
