The Society of Women Engineers
at Colorado State University
"Empower women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, expand the image of the engineering and technology professions as a positive force in improving the quality of life, and demonstrate the value of diversity and inclusion."
As a collegiate section of SWE, we are a student-led organization that strives to help women pursuing a career in engineering form friendships, study groups, and provide resources to foster professional connections with women in the STEM industry.
In response to Colorado State University’s COVID-19 action plan, CSU SWE's in-person meetings and events have been changed to virtual for the Fall 2020 semester. Please keep an eye out for upcoming online meetings!
