    SWE QUARTERLY

    LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT


    TABLE OF CONTENTS
    Hello and welcome to the Summer 2023
    Quarterly Newsletter! After over three years
    Membership • Pg 2 on the board, my first term as Drexel SWE
    President has been anything but ordinary. This
    term, Drexel SWE officers completed their
    Professional Development • Pg 3 duties from all across the country and the
    world. For this reason, coordination of our
    typical organizational responsibilities called for
    Networking • Pg 3
    a heightened level of communication and care.
    At the close of this quarter, I am proud to say
    Wellsness • Pg 4 we conducted a number of events, with both in-
    person and virtual programming.

    Diversity & Inclusion • Pg 4


    Summer is a time for transition and preparation, with a completely new set of
    leaders instated across the board. While directors got acquainted with their
    Outreach • Pg 5, 6 new roles, their chairs were introduced to the organization, many for the first
    time. Most of all, at the start of this term, the Outreach Committee
    underwent its second reorganization. While formerly structured as two
    MiSWEllaneous • Pg 7 directors, outreach and high school mentorship, each with a respective chair,
    the new and improved Outreach Committee exists as one Vice President of
    Outreach followed by two sub-committees, Organizational and School
    Officers • Pg 8 partnerships. We look forward to this reorganization in the upcoming year to
    expand our Outreach capabilities and better distribute responsibilities.

    Acknowledgements • Pg 9
    Looking forward, there is much to anticipate in the 23-24 academic year. The
    ------------------------------ executive board has focused its efforts in the Summer Term on the WE23
    conference, occurring in the Fall Term. Furthermore, the Drexel SWE
    [email protected] networking programs, collegiate, professional, and high school, will all kick off
    in the next few months. Please enjoy this summary of the previous term and
    connect with us again during our Welcome Week events.

    The D&I committee’s first event for the Summer term was a
    fun flower pot painting & planting evening while we having
    an interactive discussion on diversity. All the materials
    needed were provided by SWE and participants were able
    to leave the event with their own flower pot! The event
    encouraged bonding, while discussing important issues and
    letting everyone’s inner creativity shine!
