Northwestern Engineering

Northwestern’s undergraduate chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (@swe.northwestern ) is an important part of the Northwestern Engineering fabric. SWE hosts events and connects students with internship and job opportunities, plus forms a support network for women in the field. Julia Azevedo left her mark on the group during her time at Northwestern. Azevedo, who graduates from Northwestern Engineering next week with a degree in industrial engineering, served on the outreach committee for three years (one of as outreach director), and on the executive board for three years, including one as president. “SWE is a wonderful community that introduced me to some of my best friends and closest mentors. I have gotten incredible advice from third- or fourth-year students, connected with professors and industry professionals who gave me research and internship opportunities, participated in meaningful conversations about pursuing social justice in STEM, and gave back by sharing my love for engineering with younger girls,” Azevedo said. “All of these were central to my McCormick experience.” Read more about Azevedo's McCormick experience at the link in our bio. #NU2024
