Working alongside other minorities in engineering has been one of the most encouraging and rewarding experiences I have had at UW-Madison. By joining an engineering org, I have gained leadership skills, applied engineering knowledge, and most importantly met my closest friends. The women in the UW Mechanical Engineering Department have created a supportive culture that has greatly contributed to my engineering success, and for that, I am truly grateful.&#8221;<\/div>
