Collegiate Section Spotlight: Everett Community College

Guest Contributor: Kristine Washburn, Faculty Advisor, Society of Women Engineers, Everett Community College SWE

The EvCC SWE club has been around for nearly a decade and became an official CIG in 2013. Our main club activities are networking, outreach, and leadership and professional development.

We also like to make liquid nitrogen ice cream and play video games and board games together. Our big annual event is Dinner with Industry: a mentoring night where students can chat with local professionals over dinner. We send students to SWE conferences every year.

To fundraise for that, we host campus events like a videogame night before finals each quarter and we have a dunk tank at the college's spring fling where students can pay to try and dunk their engineering instructors. With the new WSU-North Puget Sound campus next door we hope to partner on events with their SWE in the future.
