“My favorite thing about the Women in Engineering Program is that it reminds me of what a good community I have supporting me. Studying in a male-dominated field can make it easy to forget my place, but the community that the Women in Engineering Program fosters consistently reminds me that I am just as deserving to be in this major as any of my peers. I feel empowered to succeed and am excited to pass this same support along to other young women interested in engineering.”
