About SWE Shadows

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at Colorado School of Mines invites prospective students to experience life on campus through our SWE Shadows program!

This unique opportunity allows students to spend a day at Mines and get a firsthand look at what it's like to be a student here.

As a SWE Shadow, you'll accompany a SWE member to one of their classes, join us for our weekly SWE Wednesday lunch meeting, and grab coffee with a SWE member to learn more about academics, student life, and the Mines community.
