Our meetings can be online or in-person, depending on the nature of the event. Most events will occur on Grand Valley's campus. However, if we have an event that will require transportation, we will send out forms to coordinate that for our members in advance.
To maintain membership, we require members to attend 3 events per semester. We host one professional and one fun event each month to provide a variety of options. These can include resume workshops, movie nights, conference trips, study groups, co-op panels, craft projects and more! If there is an activity that you feel the group would enjoy, feel free to reach out to SWE leadership, as we are always looking for new ideas!
All event details will be posted on the SWE calendar in the Events tab. In addition to this, we are sending out weekly updates and will post as events come up on our social medias.
