Amanda Porter…
Having only been a member of SWE for one year, I'm both surprised and excited to be co-chair of the Outreach Committee. Of course, I was in SWE during my college years (seems like eons ago) but at the time, I was more interested in completing school and then finding a job, and didn't manage to be involved in sharing the joys of engineering. Working with the girls at Girl Scout Patch Day and WOW, That’s Engineering was such fun in FY10 that I can hardly wait for the events in FY11. I now understand the need for encouragement with girls in science and math and of course engineering.
We have been transitioning the responsibilities for the Outreach Committee and I have to say a BIG Thanks to Lesley and Kalyani. They have been very helpful and are really great to work with. Our next meeting is to clean out the storage locker. While it will be a lot of work, considering the ladies involved, there will be plenty of laughs.
Stay tuned for more information on our next upcoming event, Girl Scout Patch Day at the end of October.
