SWE-NESS members live or work in Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut and we have four collegiate sections: Brown University, Roger Williams University, the Coast Guard Academy and University of Rhode Island.
We are an active group, with regular meetings and ongoing educational programs for youth of all ages. You don’t have to be an engineer or a woman to be active in SWE.

Virtual Holiday SWE Jamboree
Sunday December 13th - 4 to 6pm. We will miss seeing you all at the annual holiday dinner, so in lieu of that, we would like to do a video chat and join together for holiday activities. Gather up whatever holiday crafts, activities, or snacks you like, anything from snowflake cutting, gingerbread house making, cookie decorating, or cookie eating. Or share some of your own holiday traditions with SWE-NESS. Family and housemates are welcome! Holiday attire is encouraged!

At our holiday events, we like to collect donations for Lucy's Hearth. Lucy’s Hearth is a 24-hour emergency and transitional shelter in Newport County serving children and their families who are homeless due to economic hardship, family crisis, divorce, eviction, and severe shortage of safe, affordable housing. The primary goal is to foster independence and help the residents gain the life skills necessary to prevent future homelessness. Learn more about them at lucyshearth.org.
We will be collecting donations to send to Lucy's Hearth on behalf of SWE-NESS. You can contribute to our group donation here, https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=839GPQQGCMHN6.
