Collegiate Sections Resources

There are 9 collegiate sections in the metro Boston area. The email list was created to distribute event information and resources available to the collegiate sections. If you or your adviser would like to be added to collegiate section email list, please send a message with your name, email and college/university Collegiate Section Liaison.

The Collegiate Section Liaison is there to ensure that area schools are aware of SWE Boston's activities, promote networking and assist collegiate sections with any SWE questons. If your section is currently not active or in the red, feel free to ask SWE Boston for assistance. We are here for you and feel free to contact us anytime Collegiate Section Liaison.

There are many leadership developement resources available to SWE members. One of them is the collegiate leadership coaching committee. What is the collegiate leadership coaching committee?
