College Announces WiE LEAD

Posted on by Kevin Bogle

The Tickle College of Engineering’s (TCE) Women in Engineering (WiE) Program is pleased to introduce our 2021–2022 women-centric groups. WiE LEAD is a collective of women-centric student organizations that provide female students opportunities for leadership development, mentoring, and collaboration. The collective is also a platform for student leaders to provide feedback and contribute to TCE’s recruitment, retention, and engagement strategies for undergraduate and graduate women within the college. We encourage you to connect with them during your journey at UT.
