For this post I have to find a local organization that is based on my profession. I thought of the CoRe Program that I am in. The CoRe program consists of upperclassmen that are engineers and is for freshman engineers living on campus. This organization hosts a multitude of events like wacky Tuesdays and tutoring, and informational events to help students to have fun and gain more knowledge about engineering opportunities and new projects they can be apart of.
Here is a link to their web page:

I went to a wacky Tuesday a while ago and it was carnival night. I found out about this because they handed out flyers to our floor and they sent an email about it. At carnival night they had all sorts of booths for different activities like cotton candy, a cartoonist and a DJ. They also had booths about engineering scholarships, internships, and other helpful information.
The CoRe program focuses on first year engineering students and helping them succeed in engineering. they value academics and finding opportunities for freshman who don't have as much experience as a junior would. Personally I really enjoy this program and it does help not only find help and opportunities but find other students how are doing the same thing as you, which helps for making friend and creating study groups.
The CoRe program sounds like a really good program to find more opportunities and have better connections. I also know a couple friends who went to one of the Wakey Tuesdays,and they said they really enjoyed it as well. I hope I can find a program or organization of some sort to help me with my field, and make better connections!
ReplyDeleteI love it and I hope you find a program too. This program has helped me so much. I would definitely look at the types of clubs and organizations in your field. The connection really do help.
