Hi everyone! My name is Lauren Ostermann. I’m studying Chemical Engineering and Spanish and will be entering my senior year this fall. I have participated in SWE for the last two years and am excited to further my involvement as one of the outreach co-chairs. In my free time I love to take care of my large collection of plants, keep bees with my grandmother, and take my sweet puppy on tons of hikes! Here’s a photo of me and my tired girl after a long walk along the river.
I have met so many intelligent and driven women in SWE which is why I am so excited to be one of the outreach co-chairs. Not only will I get to know all our members better, but I will also be able to plan The Art of Science. The Art of Science is one of our biggest events of the year where we empower young girls and give them an opportunity to explore how fun science and engineering can be. Last year’s Art of Science is my favorite SWE memory and the reason I wanted to be one of the outreach co-chairs. The girls were so creative and excited so I can’t wait to come up with more fun activities for them. My second favorite memory from SWE was last semester’s Galantine’s Day. At the end of our meeting we got to craft little galantines for everyone and hang out. It was a ton of fun and you could feel the SWE-ster love!
