Thanks to matching support from past SWE presidents and former board members, every Founders Day gift can go even further.

Founders Day is more than a celebration of SWE’s history. It’s a celebration of the visionary leaders who helped shape the organization and community we know today.

This year, we honor leaders like Patricia Brown, SWE’s oldest living president, whose leadership helped establish the Society’s first office and laid the foundation for future generations of engineers and technologists.

As we celebrate SWE’s legacy, we’re also investing in its future through programs that expand STEM pathways, strengthen SWENext Clubs, and create opportunities around the world.
