Alicja Sadzewicz

Hi everyone!
​
​I’m Alicja Sadzewicz, and I will be your Outreach Co-Chair for this year! If you scroll down in the blog, you will see an ‘Alicja’ introductory post from last year; this is the second year in a row where I will be an Outreach Co-chair. This year I will also be a Senior in Chemical Engineering… which is wild. How did this happen?! Although, I think I still have to make it through the summer before I can officially call myself a “Senior”. 

I have a job working in materials, so I spend most of my summer days looking through very expensive microscopes (which I feel like I have no business being around, much less running), and swabbing things with chemicals. Recently, I took a summer vacation to California. Much to my disappointment, I didn’t get to go to Disneyland (only California Residents are allowed right now). But, one of my favorite SWE memories was when we went to Anaheim for conference, and afterward some friends and I all got to go to Disney together! The picture’s a little blurry, but if you look close you can make out our president: Hailey Cuevas! 

Moving on…here’s another picture from my most recent vacation where I went to the San Diego Air and Space Museum and met an astronaut friend: 

The thing I am most excited for this year is to hopefully go to SWE meetings in person. No clue when or if it will happen, but things seem to be looking up! For new members, or those who joined during the pandemic, the in-person meetings always have really good snacks. Though, I promise I’m not a member of SWE just for the free food. Everyone I have met in SWE has been super encouraging, and SWE even helped me get the job I have now. Anyways, I’m definitely excited to spend my last year as an undergraduate working with such a great student organization.
