Hello everyone!
My name is Cassandra Walde and I am going to be a junior in Civil Engineering. I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico and I have an older brother who is getting his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and my twin sister who is also going for her Bachelors in Civil Engineering.

As you can tell I have a little dog and her name is Sally, my dad gave her to me when I was little, she is my best friend! When I am no at school I am working or I am hanging out with my friends. This summer I am taking 4 courses which is very time-consuming, but I am also trying to make time to have a little bit of a summer!

This is going to be my second semester in SWE and I will be your Social Media Co-chair. I was so excited to see that one of our conferences this year will be in Indiana and the other conference will be here in New Mexico! I am also excited to finally meet everyone in person and see what we do this school year. My sister and I had always been shy when it comes to meeting new people and trying new things, but our friend Sasha was in SWE and she always told us that she liked it and finally one-day last semester we decided to go and I like attending the meetings and getting to talk to everyone. The society of women engineers is a great way to get involved and meet new people, they were all so inviting, and they share great opportunities as well as tell us about their own experiences with getting internships as well as interview tips. I really think SWE is a great opportunity to make more friends and gain insight into what it's like to be a woman in engineering. I promise it’s a lot of fun and I cant wait to see everyone in the fall semester!!!

Hello Cassandra,

I hope this message finds you well. It's wonderful to learn more about you and your journey as you prepare to embark on your junior year in Civil Engineering at UNM. Your enthusiasm for your studies and your involvement with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is truly inspiring.

It's heartwarming to hear about your close-knit family, including your older brother pursuing a master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and your twin sister also studying Civil Engineering. It seems that engineering runs in the family, and that's a remarkable testament to your shared passion for the field.

Sally, your adorable dog, must bring so much joy and companionship into your life. Pets have a unique way of brightening our days, and it's evident that Sally holds a special place in your heart.

Balancing a busy academic schedule with the desire to enjoy your summer is quite a feat, especially with four courses on your plate. Your dedication to your studies is commendable, and I'm sure it will pay off in your future endeavors.

I'm delighted to hear that this will be your second semester in SWE, where you'll be taking on the role of Social Media Co-chair. The prospect of attending conferences in Indiana and New Mexico is indeed exciting, and the opportunity to meet fellow SWE members in person will undoubtedly be a highlight. Overcoming shyness to join SWE and attend meetings reflects your willingness to step out of your comfort zone and embrace new experiences.

SWE is not only a platform for networking and professional development but also a warm and inviting community where members share valuable insights, internship experiences, and interview tips. Your enthusiasm for SWE and the positive impact it has had on your life shines through in your words, and I'm certain your involvement will inspire others to join and benefit from this incredible organization.

As you eagerly await the fall semester and the chance to reconnect with SWE members, I want to wish you a rewarding and enjoyable academic year ahead. Your contributions as the Social Media Co-chair will be instrumental in furthering the goals of SWE at UNM.

May your junior year be filled with new friendships, exciting opportunities, and continued success in your studies. Sally, your loyal companion, will undoubtedly be cheering you on every step of the way.

Warm regards,
ClearHolidays™
