Attendees will understand more clearly who they are, what they really want, and how they can achieve it. Come learn some practical pointers for living your career and life with more passion, more purpose, and more success!

Announcing the 2006-2007 SWE Theme
8.25.2006

The theme for SWE this year is “HATS”, Helping Achieve Tomorrow’s Success. "HATS" because we all wear many different hats during the day and throughout our lifetime. Our weekly SWE meetings will feature speakers who have worn various hats and will speak on subjects relevant to our lives as future women engineers, leaders, managers, wives, mothers, daughters, and friends. We are a unique group of individuals who will have the opportunity to wear hats from all walks of life. We look forward to hearing about the hats you’ve worn and the hats you hope to wear as you achieve tomorrow’s success!
