28th Annual Scholarship Reception

On May 21st we held our 28th annual scholarship reception. The event was attended by SWE members, the scholarship recipients, their families and teachers, and representatives of our many sponsors. Held at Lockheed Martin's Liverpool facility, attendees enjoyed food, company, a brief overview of the scholarship program's history, and an inspiring talk by the Keynote Speaker, Dean Teresa Dahlberg. It was a lovely evening and we look forward to continuing the tradition.

Carrier Dome Tour

SWE members and friends enjoyed a tour of Syracuse University's Carrier Dome on Monday, April 30th at 5:30pm. Home of SU Football, Basketball, and Lacrosse, this building is a shining example of advances in structural engineering. Attendees learned about the technical aspects of the building, especially the challenge of keeping the proper air pressure, and got a behind the scenes look at the facilities available, including the locker rooms and press box.

"Following my Foremothers: The Curtiss Wright Cadette Program and Women Engineers during WWII"​

We had a great turnout on March 19th for a brief networking event followed by a seminar on women engineers during WWII given by Prof. Ruth Baltus of Clarkson University's Dept. of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. Curtiss Wright, an airplane manufacturer, trained women as engineers to fill the gaps left by drafted men during the war, yet there is very little information available on the program. Prof. Baltus, whose mother and aunt participated in the program, gave an engaging talk on this little known piece of women's history. The event was hosted by O'Brien & Gere, who also provided food.
