Stick with SWE

CSU SWE hosted a high school shadowing event on Friday, February 2nd that was a huge success! The first year of the event, Stick with SWE, allowed high school girls to come shadow members of SWE. They were able to experience engineering classes and a typical Friday on a college campus! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible.
