SWE Swag

If you're graduating in December or May, we have SWE cords available. If you've been active in the club this semester (attended 3+ of our 8 events), email Lem266 about a discounted or free cord. Otherwise, they are $5 and you should contact the Undergrad SWE Fundraising Directors at Anp48 and Jr853. 

Would you like to show off your SWE pride? We've got some swe-licious stickers for you! They are $1 each and Madeline (Mrd237) can set you up.

We really are an active club...

Just not an active blogger. This semester we've held a bake sale for hurricane victims, participated in a blood drive, hosted a professional development talk going over the career resources available to students at Cornell, decorated pumpkins, held a Friends-giving potluck, helped undergrads by proof reading and editing their grad school applications, crocheted pocket pals for local cancer patients, and will be decorating winter holiday cookies on 12/14 from 1-4 in the Duffield Atrium.

If you want to hear about events ahead of time, join our listserv by sending an email with "Join" in the subject line to gradswe-l@cornell.edu. You can unsubscribe at anytime by sending another email with "Unsubscribe" as the subject. 99% of events also make it on our Facebook page if that's more of your style.

Updates

If you're interested in Grad SWE at Cornell, you should email Laura at lem266 to get added to our group email list to get all event details and cool stuff that I forget to post on the blog like a nearly free trip to Austin, TX for the SWE National Conference. You should also tab over to the calendar page on this blog as I'll usually update the calendar and then forget to make a post about the event. If you're social media savvy, check out our Facebook page which tends to be a little more up to date at https://www.facebook.com/CornellGradSWE/
