Summary of 2010 • WIE hosted ENGAGE—Research-based strategies to Retain Undergraduate in Engineering • Supports http://www.tryengineering.org/ • Currently 7 Affinity Groups in Region 4 • 2 Student Branch Groups • 5 Affinity Groups at Section level
Plans for 2011 • I contacted Irena Atov, WIE Committee Chair, to find out what has been planned for WIE in 2011 and see what I can do to contribute. • Make initial contact with each Affinity Group Chair. • Introduce myself and ask how I can further support their activities.
Plans for 2011 (cont) • Use an initiative similar to what I used to increase GOLD affinity group formation and activity.
