Hi Everyone! My name is Amy Zheng and I am so grateful and happy to be serving as the Graduate Member Coordinator (GMC) for the FY22 year!
I would like to take this opportunity to give an idea of my major priorities this year. I would like to build upon the foundation that was set by previous GMC’s by continuing to grow our community through Slack and social media. In addition to our Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter, we are also making efforts to expand our membership in the LinkedIN group! I hope that this group can help increase connections between current graduate students and alumni.
My main focuses for this year are: 1) Improve communication pipeline between GradSWE leadership team and GradSWE groups 2) Increase nomination rate of graduate students for society awards and 3) Improve leadership representation of graduate students within SWE.
To increase communication between our leadership team and GradSWE groups, I would like to hold an open call period every month starting in October. Please see the invite below:

Meeting ID: 914 6732 3835
Passcode: 703993
Monthly office hours:
October 13th 6pmCST
November 10th 6pmCST
December 8th 6pm CST
I also believe that graduate students are doing a lot for the SWE society and would like to help increase our representation at society awards and conferences. To accomplish this, we are holding office hours to assist with awards applications and abstract submissions. Currently, applications for WE Local awards are open until September 30th! I am hosting office hours to help anyone who would like assistance with their application on September 8th at 6pm CST Please see the invite below:

For my last goal, I would like to advertise opportunities to volunteer in SWE’s AG groups and committees more effectively. I would love to see graduate students get involved in other parts of SWE and use these other avenues to continue to stay involved after graduation.
