The Society of Women Engineers was founded at Cornell University and the tradition of serving the female engineering students continues to this day. Monthly meetings are held and seminars convene on topics specific to the interests of women in engineering. This group is primarily undergraduates, but the organization has been making a conscious effort to create a subgroup for grad students.
The Cornell Student Section of the Society of Women Engineers promotes women in engineering by advocating the importance of diversity and by uniting resources to encourage academic, leadership, professional, and personal excellence for the entire engineering community of today and tomorrow.
