Member of the Month, March: Nicole Gagnon

As a freshman I joined SWE. Being a member of SWE, I have had the opportunity to attend so many wonderful events and workshops and network with fabulous women. My favorite part of SWE has to be outreach committee though. I am still a kid at heart so doing experiments and building things is a blast! I love being able to share the fun of engineering with young girls so that maybe one day they will grow up to be engineers too. As an outreach member, I have participated in Girl Scout Engineering Day which is the most fun event on campus! I have helped build giant marble roller coasters and freeze marshmallows in liquid nitrogen (which are delicious). I have really enjoyed being an RPI SWE member during my 4 years here. I have had so many great SWE experience and met so many fabulous people!
