| ...we start to take a few breaths of excitement, nervousness, exhaustion, and anticipation. The question is, what do we do when we run out of air? As the semester knocks at the corner, summer says its good-byes and the brain's "school mode" clicks back on. It is easy to get overwhelmed by the beginning of the semester, especially if this is your first semester to college. I'm here to tell you that, "IT'S OKAY!" Plus, we're here for you, so what else could go wrong? My name is Jenny Vallero, and I am the new President of the Society of Women Engineers. I have been involved in SWE since I was a freshman at both a Regional and National level. I have many goals for our section this year, and with your help, I hope to fulfill them. It looks to be a great year ahead! I created this newsletter two years ago to create excitement and knowledge about the University of Colorado SWE Section. The newsletter contains a quick update on the month's activites, an encouraging quote, and the month's top story. It also holds a fresh reminder on how to join SWE and who the officers are. I hope you will take a moment to look through this each month. If you have further questions, check out our website at the link below. It is a great source of information for all SWE members. |

| What is SWE? Since this is the first letter of the year, and hopefully there are many new members, I'll give you a quick synopsis of exactly what SWE is. According to the National website, SWE is a not-for-profit educational and service organization. It is the driving force that established engineering as a highly desirable degree and career aspiration for women. It empowers women to succeed and advance in those aspirations and be recognized for their contributions and achievements as both engineers and leaders. Since 1950, SWE has held four objectives: inform young women, their parents, counselors, and the general public, of the qualification and achievements of women engineers and the opportunities open to them; assist women in readying themselves for a return to active work after temporary retirement; serve as a center for information on women in engineering; and encourage women engineers to attain high levels of education and professional achievement. Altogether, I look forward to getting to know you this year. I hope to see you at the Ice Cream Social and the Welcome Meeting. Signing Out, Jenny Vallero SWE President |
