Message from the President
Happy Spring SWE Philadelphia,
Volunteers are seldom paid; not because they are worthless, but because they are PRICELESS! – author unknown.
Punxsutawney Phil might have determined there will be six more weeks of winter, but Spring will be here before you know it! The Spring season at SWE Philadelphia is full of volunteer opportunities. We already started the season last weekend with Widener’s Engineering Mini-Camp. Penn GEARS day is March 24th. Delaware Valley Science Fair Judging is April 4-5th. Philadelphia Science Festival is April 29th. Certificate of Merit presentations are in May. These are great ways to get involved and make a difference to a young girl. Contact outreach@philaswe.org if you are interested in volunteering. Also stay up-todate by visiting our website for all current opportunities.
Our last meeting, Fun in the Sun, at DOW was a great success and provided tons of useful information on sunscreen. If you missed this meeting you can watch the archived webinar here .
Region E conference, “SWE in the City,” will be taking place March 31st to April 2nd at Columbia University. Early bird registration ends February 15th and late registration ends March 7th. Find out more about conference and registration here. If you are able to attend conference, we will also be looking for volunteers to help “woman” the Boutique. Please let me know if you plan to attend conference so that we can all meet up.
I would like to congratulate one of our own, Amanda Weissman, for winning the SWE New Faces of Engineering 2012! Amanda’s early career achievements have impacted the image of the profession in positive ways. Learn more about Amanda in the SWE Magazine here.
