Just like that, our favorite week of the year as come and passed! WE19 was a fantastic success, and we are beyond pleased at all the support we saw for GradSWE events.
I am excited to show off some photos of our members enjoying their time at conference!

Great turnout for GradSWE's "I have a PhD in engineering, now what?" panel!
Out of ten, FIVE winners of SWE's Outstanding Collegiate Award were graduate students. We're so proud to see them on the award winner wall!
Our Graduate Programming Coordinator, Mujan Seif, addressing the Grad Reception attendees. We had a great turnout, and want to reiterate thanks to our sponsors: Autodesk, Linde, and the Aerospace Corporation.
WE19 was a blast, but we can always improve! If you have any suggestions for content whatsoever, reach out to gradsweprogramming@gmail.com. Remember, WE20's Call for Participation will close around Feb/March, but it's never to early to start crafting submissions! GradSWE would love to help, as our whole purpose is to provide support for grad students.
In case you missed it, GradSWE's leadership team will soon have a call for TWO positions: a social media coordinator, and Graduate Programming Coordinator-Elect. Keep an eye out for those blog posts!
Lastly, look into attending a WE Local conference! These are smaller than society conference, but that just means more networking and fewer overlapping sessions (isn't it the worst when you have to decide between two awesome sessions going on at the same time?). These conferences all take place in the first half of 2020, and are widely varied in location (2 are even abroad!). Check out some of our prior blog posts for more info on these conferences!
