The Society of Women Engineers at UIC
Empowering women engineers through professional development, community outreach, and social events.
At SWE, we acknowledge and respect the value of a diverse community. We recognize that the scope of diversity includes race/ethnicity, religion, family status, age, physical abilities, sexual and affectional orientation, actual or perceived gender, gender identity and expression, socio-economic status and occupational focus. Our society will maintain an environment that is supportive of these elements, and we will promote inclusion within our organization and the engineering community. You don't need to identify as a woman to join us-anyone of any identity is welcome and will find a safe space here.
We strive to create a safe and comfortable safe for anyone of any gender. We are not a women-only organization, and we would love for anyone who feels like a minority in the engineering field to please join us <3
