I got to know American football through my job at , which was new to me from Nepal. Watching the Vandals play and seeing fans' commitment was inspiring, showing strong community ties. This experience brought me closer to campus life and traditions.
I have been one of the coordinators for Taste of Nepal, sharing Nepali food and culture with 500 people twice. Every year the event is well-received by the Moscow and Vandal community and helped earn us the university's best organization award last year. It showed how welcoming and inclusive this town and U of I is. Plus, I made some friends who have become like family to me, a family away from home.
Our college and industry partners recognize the value of SWE and the impact this organization has on our students. This is apparent through the support the dean’s office, college departments, and industry partners give to fund U of I SWE member attendance at the world’s largest conference for women in engineering and technology, the SWE National Conference.
Belonging & Engagement
Our college offers 20+ clubs and organizations tied to international and national engineering organizations, including national competition teams.
I've been involved in the Clean Snowmobile Challenge Competition Team here for all four years of my time at the college. They have helped me apply the subjects we learn in class to a physical chassis, get internships and jobs after college, and helped me articulate leadership skills I know will be applicable to the real world.
My freshman year, U of I gave me an internship where I would recycle vehicles from past engineering projects where I networked with everyone from social media to facilities which opened up opportunities to find value in myself as well as my career. Through this internship, I met a bunch of amazing alumni from the Clean Snowmobile team that are in industry.
