“My favorite part about WiE is the incredible community of women engineers on campus and in industry. Every year, we have so many inspiring alumnae come to campus to share their experiences and encourage students to pursue their passions. It is incredibly motivating to hear their stories, and I love having the opportunity to share my experiences with future engineers during WiE recruitment events!”
