UIC WIEP - Women in Engineering Programs

Scholarships can provide financial support, but their impact goes so much deeper💫

This week, we had the privilege of bringing our scholars together with Eugene Carter and Rita Rodriguez, and Bill Unger and Dr. Debra Evans for two incredibly meaningful evenings.

There is something so special about creating space for our donors and students to simply sit together, listen, learn, and connect. Our donors get to hear firsthand what today’s students are experiencing, and our scholars get to meet the people who believe in them and continue to invest in their futures.

We are so grateful for these relationships and for the life-changing impact they continue to have on our students❤️

Do you want to learn a new skill AND get a FREE trinket?
Join us at in EIEP Lounge on Monday October 12th, 1-2pm for a TinkerCAD Workshop. Ian, a senior in Mechanical Engineering, will be leading the workshop.

We had a full house yesterday at our Engineering Confidence Workshop! Thanks for everyone that showed up and practiced confidence building exercises with new friends 🙌 If you missed this event, keep an eye out in spring, where we plan to host this again!

Your path doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s⚡💪
Join us for our next Engineer Your Own Way conversation featuring Adriana, UIC Engineering alum and Signal Engineer at Metra!
 
Hear about Adriana’s journey from engineering student to engineer, the experiences that helped shape her path, and what she’s learned along the way.
 
This is your chance to hear from someone who was once exactly where you are now, ask questions, and leave feeling a little more confident about creating a path that feels like your own❤️
