Register for WEPO! Deadline is June 8th

At Penn State there a unique opportunity for women to engage in a community whose mission is to promote women in engineering (Women in Engineering Program or WEP).  Within this community incoming first year women have the opportunity to participate in a 3 day orientation. I attended WEPO as a first year and it made a HUGE difference in my time at Penn State! This year the WEP Orientation is being held August 21-23rd and I encourage you to register if you haven't already!

What is  WEPO (wep-o) ?? 

WEPO will give you the chance to:

• Move into dorms early!
• Work on a FUN design project with a team of women engineers
• Meet your peers:  180+  first-year PSU women engineering students
• Meet 50 junior & senior women engineering students who will be at WEPO as mentors and leaders (…I’m one of them!)
• Get a head start on Penn State computer software & Angel course management tools in WEPO professional development workshop
• Network at a career dinner where you’ll meet women engineers from industry, government and faculty!
• Important resources available to you in the College of Engineering
• Learn your way around campus with a WEPO team scavenger hunt
• Play Broomball—a Penn State tradition!!

When classes start on August 26th, you’ll already know lots of people and important resources available to you!!

You can register at www.engr.psu.edu/wep (Incoming Freshman > WEPO > Application). Deadline is June 8th! Sign up now, registration is filling up quickly!

Check back to this blog regularly over the summer for fun and interesting tips on transitioning to college and things you can get involved with during the school year!

I hope to see you at WEPO'13! 

For the Glory :)
