SWEFL10: Caitlin Storey

SWEFL10: Caitlin Storey

Hello all!  My name is Caitlin Storey and I am a junior at Clarkson University.  I am studying Engineering and Management, with my engineering being Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering.  I am a radio DJ at our university radio station, I am an active member of my SWE section and am acting as secretary this year, I am also in Ski Club, and am a part of LSAMP.   Now enough about myself, I am really here to share my experience with SWE outside of my college section.

This summer I attended CLF in Chicago as a SWEFL (Society of Women Engineers Future Leader) for Region F.  This was my first major SWE event.  I had no idea what I was in for and had no idea what to expect.  To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement.  I had no clue as to all the opportunities that SWE has to offer.  I sat for two days through countless seminars that opened my eyes to all the things that SWE can do for me (and for you).

As a group this year’s SWEFL’s decided to share all that we learned.  We have decided to make a SWE for dummies or SWE in a box.  After talking amongst ourselves we realized that many of us had the same problems or had heard of the same problems occurring within the collegiate sections.  So we decided to bring CLF to everyone.  We are planning on presenting at our respective regional conferences and handing out these SWE information packages to each college section.  We are hoping to included information regarding what National SWE can do for you and other information such as fundraiser ideas, membership commitment strategies, outreach program ideas, etc.  Our hope is to give everyone the knowledge and opportunity to make the most of SWE.

P.S.  Any information that people want to send my way regarding the SWE info package is welcomed!  If there is something that you are wondering about or things that your section does that you think works well and you think would help other sections, feel free to shoot me an e-mail :)
