Cary Kaczowka: Thoughts on WE12

1. There are actually differences between the way men and women think! Our brains are spaghetti; everything is connected and we can be thinking about school and suddenly end up thinking about work or a haircut, or last year's spring break. Men's brains, however, are closer to waffles; there is a box for school, work, football, and for thinking about nothing. This may be why men might think we are a bit on the crazy/random side or why he might be flustered when the different 'boxes' start mixing together such as work friends and home friends.
2. There is a new professional SWE section: Hawaiian Islands! Maybe we should visit.
3. National SWE Members have access to the award-winning SWE journal online as well! This means you can forward interesting articles to friends or watch extra videos online.
4. Two new scholarships for Fiscal year 2014 include the Betty Shanahan Scholarship for a Graduate Student and an undergraduate scholarship for Native American Students!
5. As of two weeks ago, there were 20,541 societal members of SWE!
6. Look forward to We13 in Baltamore, MD on October 24th through 26th
