Officers

President - Tiffany Hui

I'm a senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Literature.  I enjoy kickboxing, playing the cello, and eating sushi.  I've been involved with SWE since I was a freshman at Duke and I've found it be incredibly rewarding.  It's a great resource for women in Pratt to get advice about classes, be mentored by women graduate students and faculty, and network with SWE alumnae and recruiters from industry.  It's also an opportunity to make a difference in Durham through community service events that encourage younger girls to pursue engineering, science, and math.  By attending the National SWE Conference my sophomore year, I secured a wonderful summer internship at United Parcel Service in industrial engineering.  I sincerely encourage anyone interested in SWE to come to our events and see for yourself the great things that SWE has to offer.
