By Megan Schulze, SWE-RMS President
Welcome members to the new SWE Rocky Mountain Section Blog where RMS members, volunteers, chairs and executive council will be contributing their experiences, achievements and other fun tidbits. This blog will serve as a replacement to the newsletter we used to publish seasonally but as technology changes, so do we! With this blog we can get you event updates, member profiles and share accomplishments as they occur so you don’t have to wait for a Summer, Fall, Spring or Winter edition.
We would love members to contribute to the blog on a wide range of subjects including but not limited to personal stories, engineering trivia, membership profiles, Q&A and event updates. If you would like to make a contribution please send your content to swerms@gmail.com with the subject “Blog”. Now read on for our first contribution from SWE-RMS Member, Professional Development Co-Chair and iCON16 Finance Committee Member Christine Buckler!
