Trifecta of Diversity
In the summer of 2018, the Society of Women Engineers added the 4th strategic goal:
Diversity and Inclusion.
SWE will champion diversity in the engineering and technology professions and will promote an inclusive environment.
In line with that strategic goal, we aim to create a "trifecta of diversity" for engineering in Boston.
