My D was accepted as a GENE major. Got a call from a SWE member asking her if she was going to open house and if she was interested in their SWE Outreach program where they will host the prospective freshman in a dorm (hopefully freshman dorm).
Also, any other accepted female engineering majors who are attending open house and is planning to go to the SWE panel on Friday?
My daughter benefited from being in SWE (she’s a junior now) and the engineering sorority at CalPoly. They are well run, there are strict requirements to be in certain majors and maintain a give GPA to be in a leadership role.
Lots of companies recruiting on campus work with SWE, and my daughter used the connection to get a few internship offers as a result.
Thanks for the reply. My D is pretty much committed to Cal Poly now since it was her first choice. The SWE chapter at Cal Poly looks very active. I’m glad that my D will get to meet with SWE members and other prospective freshman female engineers.
Maybe she’ll meet some like minded incoming freshman to room with. Female engineers need all the support they can get since they comprise of <25% of the total engineering school.
