GradSWE at UCLA

GradSWE at UCLA is the graduate student committee of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) UCLA section, dedicated to advancing women in engineering through comprehensive professional development and networking opportunities. Based in Los Angeles, CA, GradSWE advocates specifically for women graduate engineers by providing essential resources, tools, and career advancement support tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities within the engineering field.

The organization delivers targeted professional and personal development through workshops and networking events designed to help graduate women engineers excel in their careers. GradSWE members gain access to mentorship opportunities, leadership development programs, and valuable connections within the broader engineering community. The organization serves as a comprehensive resource for information pertaining to women engineers, leveraging multiple platforms including social media, online distributions, and in-person events to reach and support its community.

As part of the broader Society of Women Engineers network—a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1950—GradSWE benefits from decades of expertise in empowering women to succeed and advance in engineering. The organization combines SWE's established training and development programs with UCLA-specific initiatives that address the needs of graduate-level female engineers. Whether through workshops, social gatherings, or professional networking sessions, GradSWE creates an inclusive environment where women engineers can build skills, expand their professional networks, and prepare for leadership roles in their respective fields.
