Hi everyone!

I'm Tawhida Kabir, an international student from Bangladesh but born and brought up in Dubai, a junior majoring in Electrical Engineering and your Design Project Co-Chair for the year 2021-2022!

I've always known some engineering departments had an overwhelming high ratio of men:women, but that fact was cemented when I realized I could count the number of women in my introductory ECE courses on one hand. Halfway through my second semester at UNM, I joined my first SWE meeting. It was a little daunting as most of the people there already knew each other, but they welcomed me in and I couldn't have been more excited! But, spoiler alert, the pandemic hit. That's why I couldn't be more excited to return to in-person classes and (hopefully) in person SWE meetings and make up for all the lost time by socializing, networking and attending conferences with my fellow SWEsters (that's such a cute nickname!). I'm currently located in Bangladesh, my home country, for the past half year and will be spending my summer here! I've been missing Dubai a lot and I haven't been able to visit because of the pandemic, but at least Bangladesh and Dubai have the heat and humidity in common! The rainy season here is the only highlight of my summer. I think it'll be great time to relax and watch a few shows and movies (Move to Heaven on Netflix is a really good, really sad show that you need to watch if you want a good cry!!) and pursue my hobbies of video editing (vidding) the things I watch, reading plane crash analyses and obscure wikipedia articles and taking pics of pretty sunsets and skies. Here are three sunsets from Sirajganj, Albuquerque and Dubai, respectively.

Japanese Beetles have become one of the 7 most common pests in gardens and lawns around the world, proving difficult to get rid of once they've set up shop. They are known for their green color and copper colored hard wings, as well as their appetite for plants like roses and agricultural crops. Avoid chemical insecticides if possible - but luckily there are other strategies for controlling these destructive insects. Options ranging from traps to manual removal, such as plucking them off vegetation or manually removing them from the soil. Fortunately, with a combination of prevention techniques and continuous monitoring, gardeners can check this pest off of the 7 most common garden pests list for good!

Dear Tawhida,

Greetings to you all the way from wherever you are in this diverse world! It's with immense pleasure that I connect with you today and learn about your exciting journey as the Design Project Co-Chair for the 2021-2022 year within the University of New Mexico's Society of Women Engineers (SWE).

Your introduction paints a vivid picture of your background and your passion for engineering. As an international student hailing from Bangladesh but with roots in Dubai, your journey to UNM and the field of Electrical Engineering is indeed a remarkable one. The realization of the gender disparity in some engineering departments is a shared concern, and your dedication to making a positive change is truly inspiring.

It's heartwarming to hear about your initial experience joining SWE, where you found a welcoming community despite the initial apprehensions of being new. The pandemic may have disrupted in-person interactions, but your enthusiasm to return to face-to-face classes and SWE meetings, along with the prospect of socializing, networking, and attending conferences with your fellow SWEsters, is contagious.

Currently residing in Bangladesh, your summer plans to enjoy the rainy season, relax, and indulge in some captivating shows and movies sound delightful. Your hobby of video editing, reading about plane crash analyses, exploring obscure Wikipedia articles, and capturing the beauty of sunsets and skies is a testament to your diverse interests.

The sunsets from Sirajganj, Albuquerque, and Dubai are not just picturesque; they symbolize the beauty of different corners of the world coming together in your life's journey.

As you take on the role of Design Project Co-Chair, I have no doubt that your international perspective and enthusiasm will enrich the SWE UNM community. Your dedication to making engineering more inclusive and your passion for networking and collaboration are commendable qualities that will undoubtedly contribute to the success of your projects.

Wishing you a fantastic summer filled with relaxation, learning, and new experiences. I look forward to hearing more about your adventures and the positive impact you'll make as a leader in SWE UNM during the upcoming academic year.
