Thank you to everyone who donated their time and energy to putting on this event. We successfully encouraged four-hundred girls to pursue engineering! Special thanks to IEEE for their monetary donation and to their officers for volunteering their time the day of the event.

Below are several photos graciously provided by Paul Nguyen of AESB/EAT. If you have any photos from the event to share, please email Angela (angela dot leese at gmail dot com).

Our biggest event of the year is approaching quickly and Heather needs a final head count of volunteers. We are taking volunteers who can donate anywhere from 1 hour to an entire day (8am - 1pm) of their time. Contact Heather (hlord at csulb dot edu) with the time you would like to help out. Be sure to include your t-shirt size in the email.

Location: VEC Quad
When: November 9th, 2007, Friday, 8 am - 1 pm

Volunteer Tasks: set-up/tear-down of event, serving lunch, running hands-on science experiments/demonstartions, chaperoning (all day committment)

Why Help: This event is the definition of what our organization is all about. It is about promoting women in the field of engineering and doing so through the inspiration of young girls who will some day be in the same position we are right now. So come help me influence these bright young girls and make the engineering field more diverse!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered to help out with the SWE table at the COE faculty/student mixer. Special thanks to Ellen who helped to set up tables for other clubs as well as our table and Jon who filled in while most members were in class.

The leadership training session held Saturday, September 15th was a success. Students from CSULB and UC Irvine discussed the basics of SWE student sections, how professional sections can assist student sections, team building, and other important topics. Thanks to Autumn Smith, SWE at CSULB’s Counselor for conducting the training.

SWE participated in Kaleidoscope 2007 in late April. Click on the photo below to see more photos from this fun event.
