Although this campaign has concluded, if you would still like to make a donation to support the Society of Women Engineers, you may always do so here.
Pitt SWE supports the key values of societal SWE, which are Aspire, Advance, Achieve.
Aspire: Pitt SWE hosts numerous outreach events for various age groups to encourage children and young adults to pursue a career in STEM fields, while also educating parents on how to help them along their path.
Advance: Pitt SWE strives to empower women to advance and succeed in the field of engineering through leadership and career development events.
Achieve: Pitt SWE provides female (and male) students with opportunities to network within the field of engineering, academically, professionally, and become involved in an international society. We hope to be a strong support group and an encouraging community for females in STEM fields on campus and to provide them with the resources they need to succeed.
The annual WELocal conference takes places in various locations across the country and every year it provides opportunity for networking with professionals in the field, learning from the success of other powerful women and a priceless life experience. This year the Pitt chapter of SWE will be attending the Buffalo conference and we need your help to bring more girls than ever! With every donation we can lower the total price of the trip and encourage more girls to attend and experience a SWE conference!
TOTAL: $250 for one girl to attend the conference
ANY donation you give will decrease this cost and create a more affordable opportunity for our girls to attend!!

Any funds raised past the cost of the conference will be put toward general operating costs and future WE conferences!
Your donation will go towards snacks and meals for our girls as we travel to and stay in NY!
Keynote speaker AND awards ceremony tickets would be covered with this donation. After coming home with the Outreach award last year, we’ve got high hopes for this year’s awards ceremony!
Help our wonderful upperclassmen SWE gals who offer up their own cars to drive us to and from the conference pay for gas and tolls.
It’s only $100 for a SWE member to have the experience of a lifetime networking with professionals, hearing from speakers and winning awards?? What a deal!!
A gift of $250 would cover all the costs and fees for one SWE member to travel, stay at and attend all events at this year’s conference!
