ANNOUNCEMENTS

Amelia Earhart Summit

Saturday, April 5

8:00 am - 4:30 pm

FRNY

Purdue University's Women in Aerospace extends a cordial invitation for you to attend the upcoming Amelia Earhart Summit (AES). Scheduled for April 5th, 2025, on the Purdue campus, AES is a full-day conference designed to provide engineering students with insights into the aerospace community through engaging sessions, panels, workshops, and interactive activities.

Traditionally focused on encouraging women's presence in the field, this year's AES has an exciting twist; the event is open to all students! We aim to bridge the connection between the past, present and future of the aerospace industry through this year's theme, "Launch, Lead, Legacy." We will be exploring ways in which students can launch their careers in aerospace, lead with pioneering ideas and solutions, and carry forward the legacy of Boilermakers in aerospace excellence.

To make this summit truly impactful, we have assembled panels of speakers representing organizations such as NASA, Boeing and Blue Origin who can share their experiences and expertise. The summit will feature the following panels:

  *   Panel 1: Women in Aerospace - Breaking Barriers and Building Legacies in the field of Astronautics
  *   Panel 2: Diversity in the Skies - Promoting Inclusion in Aerospace Engineering
  *   Panel 3: Legacy of Amelia Earhart - Inspiring the Next Generation of Aviators

Lunch will be provided and a reception for all attendees will be held at the conclusion of the event. The summit will run from 8:00 AM EDT through 4:30 PM EDT and the reception will be held from 5:00 PM EDT to 6:30 PM EDT.

If you would like to attend, please fill out the registration form (bit.ly/Earhart2025) by March 24th.

For more information on the summit, please visit our website, or reach out to Tanya Vijay (tvijay at purdue.edu<mailto:tvijay at purdue.edu>) or Matiana De Alba (mdealba at purdue.edu<mailto:mdealba at purdue.edu>). Make sure to keep an eye on our Instagram (@purduewia) for updates and speaker reveals!

Thank you for considering our invitation, and we hope to see you at the Amelia Earhart Summit!

MENTAL HEALTH MINUTE

Greetings from the CARES Hub!

We have 5 weeks of class remaining followed by finals...and then...summer break!

As you take on the challenges of the final weeks of the school year, we encourage you to focus on your wellness. Remember that taking care of yourself not only makes you feel better physically and emotionally, but also enhances your academic success! Each week from now through finals we will suggest a weekly well-being activity. We encourage you to engage in that activity 2 - 3 times per week and reflect on how you feel following the activity.

Week 2 - March 30 - April 5, 2025

Digital Detox

Reflect on your relationship with your mobile phone.  How many hours per day do you spend using it?  We often complain of not having enough time.  Is your mobile phone usage depleting your quality time?  Try silencing your phone for a while...even just 30 minutes a day to completely disconnect and savor a conversation with a friend, a nap, a cup of coffee, gym time, a walk, or anything that you enjoy, and leave your phone unused.
