Women Engineers Rise (WE Rise) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) are back with the Women Engineers (WE) Professional Mentorship Program (PMP) for our new 2023-2024 academic year.

As we prepare for our second year, we are excited to invite industry leaders and professionals to volunteer as mentors for the 2023-2024 PMP. WE PMP provides invaluable guidance and support to our students, helping them navigate the transition from academia to the professional world. We aim to foster a culture of growth, learning and development by connecting motivated students with experienced industry mentors. By offering your time and expertise, you can profoundly impact our students' academic and professional trajectories, empowering them to excel in their chosen fields.

The WE PMP will be open to all our undergraduate and graduate women and gender non-conforming students enrolled in the College of Engineering and Computer Science.  The WE Rise and SWE program staff will match student mentees with industry mentors.
