Please join us for Dallas SWE’s first virtual professional development event! Shelley Stracener will be giving her financial independence seminar originally scheduled for March. The webinar is now scheduled for May 7 at 5:30pm. Learn from the first 15 years of her engineering career experience and get some practical resources for applying your engineering skills to your personal economy towards the goals of financial independence and eventual retirement. While this session is geared towards early and mid-career professionals, it’s never too late to manage your money well.
This event is for SWE members only.

Join Dallas SWE for an entertaining night of Trivia on May 12th at 7pm! This will be a fun opportunity to socialize while introducing a little bit of friendly competition as we test our knowledge on categories such as pop culture, science, movies, and more!
We will use an online platform to track everyone’s responses and rank them accordingly. There will be small prizes for top placers!
Come for a night of fun, surprises, and learning with your Dallas SWEsters, all while in the comfort and safety of your home.

Turn social distancing into personal deepening! Please join Dallas SWE for a special online yoga class on April 23rd at 7pm.
We will do a vinyasa flow class, which is a dynamic flow class led by the breath. Traditional postures blend together in unique sequences like a thread of mindful movement to build strength in the legs and core while increasing flexibility in the hips and spine. All levels welcomed.
We hope this allows our Dallas SWE community the opportunity to strengthen mindfulness and work all components of wellness including physical and mental, while providing a safe, at-home workout.
