Undergraduate Research Takes Center Stage
Alumna establishes endowment to support Society of Women Engineers
As WMU’s first woman engineering Â鶹´«Ã½, there was no Society of Women Engineers (SWE) chapter to provide a supportive environment, to learn from other women’s engineering careers or to explore other aspects and fields within the profession by attending SWE’s annual conference. Through this financial support, I get to make sure that today’s Â鶹´«Ã½s get to experience all that and hopefully more! I encourage other Bronco engineering grads to join me in expanding this fund, plus stay in touch with the chapter and help mentor these Â鶹´«Ã½s on their professional journeys.
Alumni support plays a crucial role in the growth and development of WMU and its Â鶹´«Ã½s. There are a number of ways to get involved with the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences:
- Financial contributions: support experience-driven learning and Â鶹´«Ã½ scholarships
- Mentorship: foster a sense of community and create personal and professional connections
- Guest speaking: share valuable experience and industry-related knowledge with Â鶹´«Ã½s
To learn more about how you can be involved, please contact Julie Loncharte, chief development officer for the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
