The Next Generation of Communication & Interaction for SWE PNW is Coming!

We are launching an exciting new effort to update the virtual interface we offer for our section.

The first step: our webpage!

We are transitioning our webpage to new servers and updating the format (and content). This change will be happening over the Thanksgiving weekend and hopefully will be up and running by the first week of December. There may be some hiccups with the transition due to the holiday, so bear with us.

Beyond that, there are going to be some great things in the works to help build and improve over virtual brand and the interface we provide to all of our members.

If you want to follow along with the details of where we are at, the status of things in work, and hints of the great things to come, head on over to Google+ and circle us there (SWE PNE Virtual Brand). If you want to help, send us a message there or through our email.

So have patience as we goes through these updates - and get excited for the awesome things to come!

Welcome to the new home for our section webpage! We're in the process of updating the format and platform for our webpage, so please pardon our dust as we go through the changes.

In addition to a new webpage, we are also working on an integrated virtual brand, which will help us provide information to members, allow for greater member interactions with each other, and help improve our groups overall communication.

Keep watching the webpage and our current Facebook group for updates and information as we launch these new tools and features. We are targeting a full go-live in January 2015 - so let's get excited and ready to interact in a new way!
