WE11: Chicago Oct. 13-15

This past weekend, 16 MITSWE members, along with 5800 others, attended the National SWE Conference hosted in Chicago, IL, the headquarters of the national organization. During these three days, people attended hospitality suites hosted by top sponsors, a career fair with top engineering companies, fun and interesting sessions and workshops, and explored the "Windy City."

Check out some of the pictures below to see how fun everyone had!

The Career Fair was held on Friday from 10:30-4pm and many companies gave out interviews throughout the day to several students. Good luck to everyone in search for an internship! 


Friday night we all headed out to the Berghoff, a well known and treasured Chicago restaurant with great German food. We were also joined by some of our most beloved alumni.

On Saturday, people had the opportunity to go out into the city after attending another session. Here, we can see the glorious beauty of the infamous Chicago Deep Dish Stuffed Pizza, yum Giordano's.

That night, we all attended the final Celebrate SWE banquet. As a part of Region F, our theme was Fall Foliage and all the professional and collegiate members were crowned with a wreath of leaves, looking festive and classy.


Congrats to the two attending seniors, Ellen and Joy, for dedicating so much time to SWE!

If you're interested in getting involved and having a chance to attend WE12, next year the National Conference will be hosted in Houston, TX from November 8-10. Mark your calendars and get excited!
