Hello SWE Ladies,

I hope you all had a great winter break! The topic of today’s meeting is SWEsters Study Abroad!We will be having some of our members present about their experiences of taking classes and living in other countries. Study Abroad programs from Germany, Denmark, Spain, Costa Rica, and Turkey will be talked about. Study Abroad is great college experience and hopefully this meeting will make you consider participating in one of MSU’s programs during your college career.

Social

Hey friends!

I am so excited to be returning to MSU as your Social Chair. During Fall 2013, I did a co-op for Marathon in Detroit, MI. It was an incredible experience and if you ever want to talk about co-oping, I can chat! For social events in January, we have ice skating coming up on January 31st at Munn Ice Arena from 9:30-11:00 pm. We also have the Valentine’s Day Dnner February 13th, details TBA. If you ever have any questions, or need to reach out please contact me! Remember to make time for fun and get social with your SWE-sters! :)

Welcome Back Ladies,

I hope everyone of you had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. As we begin the new semester, our point system starts over; hence, the more events each one of you attend, the more points you gain as a SWE member. In April, we will be giving away prizes to those members who accumulated the most points over the semester. Last semester, we gave away some very stylish MSU Camelbak water bottles, MSU scarves, T-shirts, and MSU tumblers.

If you are interested in becoming more involved in SWE, Erica Allen (our social chair) is looking to create a subcommittee. If you are interested, please email Erica or myself at .

Lastly, E-Week is February 16th -22nd. As an engineering club, SWE shall participate in Impression 5 on Sunday February 16th. Katelyn Dunaski will take over for me and lead this project. As a group, we will be creating SLIME with the children and families. If you are interested, please email Katelyn at .

Have a wonderful three day weekend!

Day With SWE

Welcome back SWEsters! We hope you all had a great break and are ready for the fun events we have this semester! Day with SWE will be April 4th and 5th and we will need all the help we can get! If you live in a dorm and are willing to host a high school senior girl for the night, please email us. We are hoping we can get all of the girls in the dorm but if not, apartments/houses will work too. If you are interested in helping plan or volunteer for those days please let us know as well.
