How Can Alumni Help?

We have several events throughout the year that would be made stronger with the participation of alumni! Please consider joining us.

Our Biggest Events

Evening With Industry

SWE at The U has been putting on EWI for since 1999. We are always looking for volunteers to help set up, network with students, and give our SWE members a leg up in finding careers.

Mock Interviews

We always need volunteers to help interview students for practice, whether it be by phone or in person.

Corporate Sponsors Banquet

Our annual sponsorship banquet is an opportunity for companies to meet our students and current alumni to explain what we are all about and how their sponsorship contributes to our success. We need alumni to help network and be our success stories!
