Conference

Every year, national Society of Women Engineers holds a conference for women to attend. There are speakers, and exhibitors from all over the country. For 2024, the theme is “Together We Rise”. Michigan Tech is lucky to be sending some of our own members to this conference this year.

The National Conference is a great way to learn skills, meet other engineers, and listen to inspiring panels. It is also a great bonding experience for the members of SWE.

Katy Pioch says that conference was “one of the best experiences” she has had in SWE. "To be surrounded by so many successful, strong and encouraging women creates an atmosphere like no other," she says. "I had the chance to listen to women from many walks of life share their stories, career paths and advice over the course of three days."

Sophie Owen says “It was so inspiring to hear from a woman that is highly influential in the electric power industry, since this is the field I am interested in. I also enjoyed getting to bond with my SWEsters over the weekend."
