Recent Events

• Scholarship Reception: Review of feedback from survey
  • Overall positive, virtual event in June was appreciated although in person is rightfully preferred 

Upcoming Events
We got some good feedback and will be offering a mix of virtual and in-person events in an attempt to accommodate as many people as possible. Detailed planning will be done a month or two at a time due to the continuously changing situation, so we can plan appropriately. Please note that at this time we are not planning to do an in person Friendsgiving or Holiday dinner this year as these were discussed as the most social and hardest to accommodate at this time.


Currently proposed events are below:

• September- Apple Picking at Beak and Skiff (in-person event)
  • Saturday 9/19 OR Saturday 9/26, in the afternoon. Please email us by 9/3 with your preference and we will pick the date that works for most
  • Beak & Skiff COVID policies can be found on their website (link below) and are expected to be followed during our event: https://beakandskiff.com/covid-19-guidelines/
  • To our understanding SU has restricted all events for organizations to virtual only so they will not be joining for this in person event this year.
    
    
    
• October- PDH seminar (virtual event) 
  • Tentative,  topic, speaker, and date to come
  • If you would like to provide the seminar or if you know someone that would please let us know.
  • Date and subject will be selected by the end of September.
    
    
    
• November- WE20, Annual Conference of the Society of Women Engineers
  • November 2-13th, completely virtual; will be a mix of Live, Semi-live, and On-Demand sessions
  • More information can be found on the official conference website:  https://we20.swe.org/

• Early December- Virtual cookie decorating
  • In place of Friendsgiving and Holiday Dinner
  • Decorate/make cookies together via web conferencing
  • Expect to host on a weeknight
