On May 20th, the NYS Capital District Section of the Society of Women Engineers (NYSCD SWE) hosted our 23rd Annual Merit Awards Dinner. We had the privilege of recognizing 41 outstanding high school juniors from 23 local schools, awarding more than $5,000 in scholarships! These junior year students were selected by their school faculty for their academic accomplishments, exemplary character, and dedication to pursuing STEM careers.
NYSCD SWE extends its sincere gratitude to all the attendees for being part of this memorable event, and appreciation to everyone who made the event possible.
A huge thank you to our Merit Awards Dinner Chair, Maya Moss, for her incredible coordination and dedication.
Thank you to the entire NYSCD SWE board for help with event logistics and planning.
Thank you to our keynote speakers, Asli Sahin and Hannah Margavio for sharing uplifting narratives that left a lasting impact, and to Representative Paul D. Tonko for his words of encouragement and video message.
None of this would be possible without the steadfast commitment of our corporate and community sponsors. Thank you for investing in these young innovations and supporting women in STEM!
