SWE: Society of Women Engineers

The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) provides women an environment in which to achieve success in engineering, both academically and professionally.

Founded in 1950, SWE is a not-for-profit educational and service organization that empowers women to succeed and advance in the field of engineering, and to be recognized for their life-changing contributions as engineers and leaders. The society aims to:

• develop women engineers at all stages of their personal and professional lives
• be recognized as a global, inclusive organization, promoting diversity and inclusion and serving women engineers wherever they are
• Advocate for the inclusion and success of women, present and prospective, in engineering and technology

Manhattan University’s chapter hosts a variety of educational and advocacy events on campus, from guest speaker presentations and panel discussions to regional conferences and networking events.
