Hello SWEsters! We volunteered with The Greater Lansing Food Bank as part of their Garden Project on Monday. We had a lot of fun volunteering and making friends! Right now we are participating in the SOCC Canned Drive. Make sure you bring in cans and take donations to The Center! Also, follow us on twitter @MSU_SWEsters. If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to send us an email or come talk to us!

Outreach

SWE Outreach has a program in which SWE members visit local schools to talk and develop engineering activities and workshops to 4th graders (It takes only 1 hour). Our next visit will be at the Lansing STEM School, and volunteers are always welcome! Helping children understand engineering concepts is a lot of fun and a great resume buider.
So that everyone who wants to participate has a chance of going to one of our outings this semester, we are changing the weekday to visit the School.Tentative date will be November 22nd (Friday) at 11am. We will send an email confirming the date as soo as possible.
Hope to see you there!

Any doubts shoot an email to Abbie or Anne.

The semester is getting busy fast, so what better way to relax and take a break then with a movie night! Come join us as SWE and ASME go to NCG Cinemas together! We will be going for the 6:50pm showing of About Time on Sunday November 17th. Carpools will be arranged, and ASME has graciously offered to cover the costs of the movie tickets for both organizations!! (Thank you ASME!). If you are interested and/or can drive please let me know!

Ladies and Gents,
It is officially winter, and that means registration for our SWE Regional Conference is here!!! Michigan Tech will be hosting "Extracting the Elements" in Houghton, MI from Feb. 14-16, 2014. To register go to and click on 'Conference Info' near the top of the page. As your member relations chair, I keep attendance for every general SWE meeting and event. Individuals who accumulate a majority will receive a small prize at our NEXT general meeting. You have to be present in order to accept your prize. Now that the semester is coming to an end, I would like to ask, you, our general members a few questions. What changes, if any, would you like to see in SWE? What are some experiences you would like to gain from SWE? Suggestions? Please email me with your creative ideas!!! Go Green!!!

Hope everyone isn't too stressed with school and finding time to attend some SWE events! Our event is next semester but we are starting to get the planning rolling. If you have any pictures from SWE events please send them to us so we can get some flyers sent out to the high schoolers. We are also looking for a lot of volunteers so if you are interested feel free to email us or talk to us after the meeting about what you can do!
