Hi former and new SWE members!

The Fall semester has started, and with that comes the Society of Women Engineers interest meeting! This meeting will take place on Tuesday, September 11 from 6pm-8pm in the Johnson Center Meeting Room G. If you can’t join us, I will be emailing out a description of what happened, so you can still stay involved.

Thanks and hope to see you there!

To register for the Spring 2012 SWE Mentoring Program, you can fill out this form before the meeting or register there. The meeting will be on Friday, February 10th, from 2-4 pm in JC Meeting Room B.

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Mentoring Program is a Big Brother/Big Sister-type program between under- and upperclassmen undergraduate students. The SWE Mentoring Program is not meant to take the place of academic advising or peer advising, but will hopefully connect students with similar interests so that they may make lasting friendships and share knowledge. All students from Science, Math, Engineering, and Technology (STEM) majors are encouraged to apply, both men and women.

There are about three events per semester (an introductory meeting and social events). The participants are asked to meet with their partners at least two times per month, and one of those meetings should be in person. Past social events have included bowling, laser tag, ice-skating, a video game night, and a teamwork-based ropes course. Light refreshments will be served at the meeting.

If you have any questions, concerns, feedback, or comments, please contact the SWE Mentoring Program Coordinator, Ummer Shamma, at ushamma@masonlive.gmu.edu.

We want to plan events that interest our members and at times where most members can attend. Please take this short survey to help us plan upcoming events. Click here to take survey

Past events have included bowling, ice skating, laser tag, and game night.
