Society of Women Engineers
I enjoy meeting other female volunteers who act as mentors and new friends in this club. I enjoyed being able to volunteer for the SWE overnight (February 2017) where junior girls came and spent the night at RIT. I talked to them and made them feel comfortable Thursday night and helped check them out on Friday afternoon. I also enjoy helping pizza sales by volunteering to serve the pizza and/or collect the money for SWE. I am a national member of the society as of Fall 2016.
