CONGRATULATIONS!

Happy end of the semester! To mark the end of a great year in SWE, we held a holidy party during which internal awards, scholarships, and the new FY13 Exec board was announced. See below for pictures and award winners. =)

The MIT SWE scholarships are awarded to leaders in the organization and promising freshmen who exhibit the qualities that the Society represents.

Two freshmen and two upperclassmen will receive $1000 and $500 for first and second place, respectively, to use towards their achieving their aspirations.
