This year’s opening function was full of energy and enthusiasm as we
introduced the year planner to our members, the objective was to get everyone
on board to kick-start the year. SWiET ladies managed, single-handedly to invite
women that are already working in the industry, practicing as engineers to come and enjoy this day with us. They got
to understand the society’s vision and mission, building of sisterhood and the
mentor-ship chain that the society is aiming to achieve. We introduced some of
exciting major project that SWiET will take part in, this academic year. The
highlight of our day was our guest speaker, Mukovhe Confidence Tshilande (Vice
Chairperson in 2013), who is a lady who knows SWiET very well and has been part
of it throughout her academic career and has witnessed the society grow and
blossom into a masterpiece.
The new executive committee for the year 2015 got to meet with our
members, mingled with them and understood what the members’ expectations were
about this year. When ladies meet under one roof…. wisdom, determination and
not forgetting “fun” are some of the thing you’ll surely get. Both the working
class and the students learned a thing or two from one another, so you never
stop learning.
