SWE-HA Collegiate Mentorship Program
Sometimes it's hard to remember how little you knew as an incoming freshman engineer. For many women, barriers to engineering can start early, particularly if there aren't close family or friends who can give insight on engineering's demands, opportunities, and culture. We would like to lower this disadvantage for young Houston women beginning their engineering degrees.
Specifically, SWE-HA is starting a Collegiate Mentorship Program for our SWE-HA Scholarship recipients and for other freshman engineering women at our local Houston area universities. We are looking for members who are 0-10 years after graduation to act as mentors. With a small time commitment of simply meeting 1-2 times a month for lunch, coffee after work, or over zoom you could introduce women to opportunities such as undergraduate research and cooperative education or simply discuss the fact that we all feel like imposters at some point. In my time as a mentor, I've been amazed at the impact you can have with such little effort.
If you have any interest in either helping set up this program or in being a mentor, please send me an email at treasurer@houstonswe.org.
