Diversity in Engineering Center

Student Clubs and Organizations

Community. Professionalism. Engineering Excellence.

Looking for more ways to get involved on campus? Students helping students is core to our Center’s work, and this is exemplified by our student organizations. Connect with students with similar interests and attend events such as dialogues on workplace culture, resume reviews and national and regional conferences. There are also regional professional chapters associated with some of our organizations, giving students professional mentors within their industry.

Following our mission of inclusivity, our student organizations are open to all students as we continue to create and uphold an engineering community that celebrates diversity academically, professionally and socially.
