Swing 4 SWE: Driving Women Together

The golf course is often referred to as a "second office," where informal meetings, business deals, and valuable relationships are formed. Unfortunately, too few women take up invitations to meet on the green. However, that changed when a SWE two-year college affiliate and a four-year university chapter launched Swing 4 SWE. This initiative encourages young women studying STEM to learn how to play golf, ensuring they can be present in all spaces where key decisions are made. Now in its fourth year, the event has not only doubled in size but has also gained popularity among industry partners. If you're interested in learning how we brought women together through both industry and academic connections, this workshop will share the strategies that led to both expected and unexpected engagement outcomes.
