This event connects participants with women studying engineering, engineering career professionals and staff members. It also offers participants the chance to explore engineering majors, pathways and experiential opportunities of their choice. 

The event will be held 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET on Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus.

Those arriving on April 21 are invited to attend an evening meet-and-greet session inside Dudley/Lambertus Hall. Meet with representatives from engineering schools, organizations and clubs to discuss various opportunities.
