Purdue University is offering a program called Seniors Exploring Engineering on Monday, October 15th. The program is geared towards young women in their senior year who are trying to determine if engineering at Purdue University is a good fit for them. Students will explore their choice of two engineering disciplines, obtain knowledge regarding the first-year engineering program, admissions, student life, and engineering in the “real world.” Campus tours are offered with an opportunity to meet with Purdue professors, current engineering students, and some awesome women alumni. You should register early at www.purdue.edu/WIEP
