Academic Career Panel
June 22, 2017 students, postdocs
WIE was the host of another career panel which targets academic positions. 40 students showed up in the summer heat, eager to listen to the stories of panelists about their career journeys. Then the students had the chance to ask their questions. After the Q&A session, students and panelists mingled in smaller groups to further discuss student’s concerns while enjoyed some delicious UDairy ice cream.
We would like to thank our panelists Prof. Hui Fang from Electrical and Computer Engineering, Prof. Dustyn Roberts and Prof. Jenni M. Buckley from Mechanical Engineering, and our former committee member Diana Haidar who recently admitted as a faculty at Carnegie Mellon University.

WIE coincided its spring coffee breaks with Nowruz, an ancient celebration of the re-birth of the earth. More than 70 people showed up at DuPont lobby to not only enjoy the sprite of Nowruz, but to meet and catch up with their colleagues from all over the campus.

Pizza Welcome Lunch
September 14, 2016 Grad students, postdocs, faculty
Last year’s pizza lunch was so big that we moved to the Rodney Room this year! Around 80 women engineers gathered to welcome incoming College of Engineering graduate students, enjoy pizza, and learn more about the WIE program. WIE co-chairs Tess Ginley and Camil Diaz led the annual trivia game in a new format this year. A lesson learned from last year — the professors were not allowed to sit together at one table!
