Undergraduate Research Takes Center Stage
Alumna establishes endowment to support Society of Women Engineers
As WMU’s first woman engineering student, there was no Society of Women Engineers (SWE) chapter to provide a supportive environment, to learn from other women’s engineering careers or to explore other aspects and fields within the profession by attending SWE’s annual conference. Through this financial support, I get to make sure that today’s students get to experience all that and hopefully more! I encourage other Bronco engineering grads to join me in expanding this fund, plus stay in touch with the chapter and help mentor these students on their professional journeys.
Alumni support plays a crucial role in the growth and development of WMU and its students. There are a number of ways to get involved with the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences:
- Financial contributions: support experience-driven learning and student scholarships
- Mentorship: foster a sense of community and create personal and professional connections
- Guest speaking: share valuable experience and industry-related knowledge with students
To learn more about how you can be involved, please contact Julie Loncharte, chief development officer for the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences.
