We are still energized from the highly successful 2018 Leadership and Development Conference in April and as we head into the heat of the summer we are gathering feedback and ideas to ensure future conferences are even better. Thanks again to all of you who participated in the conference! Thanks also for your participation in the subcommittees: Recruit, Retain, and Reward. We know you’re pursuing many initiatives and we look forward to hearing about your progress during the next few months. We’ve recently redefined our collaboration with SWE and should be more closely connected as we move forward. Thanks to Samantha Scott, ’12 chemical engineering, the new 100+ Women Strong liaison with SWE, and Savannah Smith, recent Auburn SWE President and new 100+ Women Strong member, for making this happen. We expect several opportunities for future interactions with SWE and will keep you informed. We’re proud to report that we have rewarded Auburn women with $77,000 for the 201819 academic year for the following: Scholarships, Leadership Awards, Study Abroad, Graduate Fellowships, Undergraduate Research Fellowships, and Travel Fellowships. Your generous contributions are clearly making a difference. Another recent accomplishment is the Resume Book that has been developed and is provided to our Director Level Corporate sponsors. The 2018 resume book includes resumes of 307 female students and is providing valuable information for company recruiting. Our ongoing mentoring program is very active and we currently have 103 mentoring pairs. We’re always looking for additional mentors, so please volunteer if you can. Please mark your calendars and we hope to see you in Auburn at our next two large events: New Student Welcome Event on August 17, 2018 and MADE (Making a Difference in Engineering) Recruiting Event on September 21, 2018.
