SWE in the Tartan!

I was in Orlando two weeks ago at the National Conference for the Society of Women Engineers. The CMU SWE section took two awards! We won Gold for Outstanding Collegiate Section (one of only two schools to receive this honor -- it's highly competitive), an award we've been striving to earn for as long as I've been at CMU.

And now we're featured in the University newspaper, The Tartan!

We also won an award for the SWE History Award, which was conducted in recognition of SWE's 60th anniversary. This oral history was my pet project at the end of last semester. I got to interview a number of fantastic people, some of whom were here over 40 years ago when CMU started a SWE section! It's not the best edited video, but you can learn a bit about the history of our section in our submission.
