The SWE CT Section is always looking for ways for members to get more involved. Specifically we are hoping to get help in the future for:

Outreach Activity Coordinator - There are a ton of outreach opportunities that are out there. We'd love help organizing a couple activities each year.
Scholarship Committee and Reviewers - Keep posted for a call to action for closer to the start of our scholarship period!

Paint Night Fun!

SWE CT kicked off FY20 with a paint night outing at Muse Paint Bar in Milford in July! Thanks to all who came to mark the start of another great SWE year ahead!

Jean R. Beers Scholarship Brunch

SWE Connecticut (CT) is proud to share that we awarded our Jean R. Beers scholarship in May, at a brunch celebration held annually. SWE CT began our scholarship program in 1984, renaming it the Jean R. Beers scholarship in 1987 to honor the legacy of a pioneering SWE CT member who was passionate about making sure the next generation of aspiring female engineers had access to resources not available to her. Since inception, SWE CT has awarded over 35 scholarships nearly annually to a deserving female student studying a STEM discipline. This year’s recipient, Alara Degirmenci, is a student at Yale University studying Computer Science. Congratulations to Alara and all the applicants who are doing amazing work! The FY20 Jean R. Beers scholarship application will be posted later this fall – watch the SWE CT newsletter, Facebook, and check http://ct.swe.org/ for an announcement and application details!
