Thanks for another amazing meeting!

Tonight we enjoyed an amazing talk by Mr. Bob Nelson on how to wisely invest for our future. He shared an overview on the past and the stock market of today. I personally, enjoyed learning some pointers on starting a life after college in debt and how to make wise financial decisions. If you would like to ask him some questions and want some free financial advise, please feel free to stop by the SWE office for a copy of his business card. He is welcoming any phone calls from SWE members. :-)

For this week's general meeting, we were very excited to host a Self-Defense Workshop! Two Air Force ROTC cadets who are certified instructors taught us how to defend ourselves. We think this is an important skill for all to have and the meeting was a lot of fun, with lots of laughs all around!
