“My favorite part of the Women in Engineering Program is the supportive community of peers and alumni who have empowered me to have confidence in my engineering abilities. The program has provided countless opportunities for personal and professional growth, and I’m honored to share the same encouragement I received with others entering this male-dominated field!”
