On November 18, 2022, SWE will be hosting an event called Shadow Day, in which 50 high school girls will have the opportunity to shadow a SWE student for a day to learn what it is like to be a Michigan engineer. I am reaching out to you to see if you know any junior or senior girls who are interested in engineering or STEM-related fields. The cost of Shadow Day is $10, and lunch will be provided. Registration will open this Thursday, October 20th at 12:00pm EST on our website here, and it is first-come, first-served. Please share these details with any interested students, and contact me with any questions. For more information, please visit our website.

Top Reasons to Visit Colleges

1. You won’t really know how you feel about a place until you’ve been there. A college catalog, view book, or website can only show you so much.
2. The college information sessions and the campus tours will give you a much better idea of what the college is like and if you would be happy there.
3. A small investment in time now can save significant time, money, and hassles during the college application period.
4. You’ll get a sense of the college’s vibrancy, character, and facilities. Visits will provide you with a more complete picture.
5. College tours allow students to ask questions, meet other prospective students and understand the college on a deeper level.
6. How you feel about schools once you visit in person may affect the direction your college search and application process takes. College visits help you to refine your search.
7. Applying to college is a complex process and visits to campuses will serve you best if you use them as a research tool, rather than a final decision-making aid.
8. Time, energy and money are finite resources and you want to use them wisely throughout the application process. First-hand knowledge will help you to clarify your vision and narrow your list.
9. Most colleges love students who are sincerely interested and visiting colleges is one way to show this.
10. You want to be able to relax and make a fully informed choice once you have been accepted. If you’ve already visited those schools at least once, that’s just what you will be able to do.
