About Us

The Cornell Student Section of the Society of Women Engineers was charted on November 9, 1972. Since then, we have grown to be one of the largest student organizations on campus. Membership for SWE is open to undergraduate and graduate students (both male and female) in engineering, physics, chemistry, and computer science.

Each year, we run numerous programs and events to promote engineering, diversity, career and professional development, academic support, and pre-college eduation. These include many outreach programs in and around the Ithaca community, various social programs, dinners, luncheons, and over 100 company information sessions. For more information about all the programs that we run, please check out "Our Programs" section.
