This position will be involved in the curation of graduate specific seminars, planning the GradSWE mixer and afterparty, as well as working with other GradSWE executive members to increase graduate representation and participation at WE conferences.

Being a part of GradSWE leadership is a great resume builder, as well as a great way to connect and have fun with your SWE community. You will have lots of opportunities to interact and meet new people at the conferences, advocate for graduate programming at a higher level, and participate in SWE like never before. We encourage anyone with interest to apply! It is a very fun, high energy team with a lot of creative ideas and we are very excited to meet our newest member.
