Here at Lafayette College, SWE looks to encourage females to pursue their passions in STEM regardless of their under-representation in the field. Lafayette's engineering program has proudly one of the highest female to male ratios in the country. We look to strengthen relationships between the female students and faculty through our monthly lunches and teas and to further inspire and encourage young girls in the local area to grow an interest in STEM and to feel comfortable pursuing a career in a male dominated field.
