SWE 50th Anniversary Campaign
Celebrating 50 Years of RPI SWE!
We’re hitting a milestone!
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is celebrating its 50th anniversary—and we’re thrilled that it coincides with the 75th anniversary of the national SWE organization. Since 1975, RPI SWE has built a strong community where women in STEM empower each other and thrive in a historically male-dominated field.
Why We Matter
For 50 years, RPI SWE has been a space where women in engineering can:
- Find mentorship and support
- Grow professionally and personally
- Connect with peers, alumni, and industry leaders
- Be part of something bigger—a national movement toward gender equity in STEM
What Your Support Makes Possible
Thanks to donors like you, we’re able to offer these experiences to our members at little or no cost:
Conference Travel
We brought 20 students to the SWE National Conference in Chicago last year. Help us raise that number!
Explore Engineering Day
RPI’s largest student-run STEM outreach event, drawing over 400 elementary school students—completely free for attendees and clubs.
Professional Development
Events with local companies teach key skills and offer networking that gives our members a competitive edge.
Night of Networking
An exclusive dinner during RPI Career Fair week that connects students directly with employers—no cost to students.
Social and Community Events
We’ve had over 100 RPI students attend our community-building events this year!
Guest Speakers and Alumni Connections
From SWE leadership to industry leaders and alumni—our members gain insights from the best.
Alumni Engagement
We’re planning a special alumnae weekend celebration this fall and we’d love to see you there!
Help Us Soar into the Next 50 Years
Your support ensures we can:
- Subsidize travel for more students to attend national and local SWE events
- Keep outreach like Explore Engineering Day free and accessible
- Grow our programming and reach even more students
Join us in celebrating this legacy year by making a gift today. Let’s build the next 50 years—together.
