Large Turnout to Learn More About SWE

10/22/2016

On Thursday, December 20th, SWE ECI hosted a "SWE'd Like to Introduce Ourselves" event for all of our new members and those interested in learning more about SWE.

Almost 80 people showed up to participate at Eastbank Venue & Lounge in the old Smulekoff's building downtown. The night began with a fun ice breaker event, followed by a presentation about SWE and the opportunities membership presents by SWE president Katie Allen.

We would like to thank all the people that came out to make this event so popular!
