Rising Professionals Tour and Upcoming Events

 In NEWIEE Blog, NEWIEE On the Rise

NEWIEE’s Rising Professionals were blown away by our recent tour to MassCEC’s Wind Technology Testing Center! More than 20 attendees enjoyed a tour of the WTTC lab, got to look inside a turbine blade, watched videos of stress tests, and chatted with the Center’s team of experienced blade test engineers and technicians.

We have also been blown away by the enthusiasm surrounding Rising Professionals in our first year. In the Fall we are looking forward to more tours, more networking, and we’re heading back to school!

This month, join us at Greentown Labs for a Graduate School Panel on September 26th. Come hear from the women who are leading the energy and environmental fields on how their decision to attend graduate school (or not!) shaped their careers, and what they wish they’d known before they applied.

As summer winds down, we’re also excited to get back on campus for more panels – first up is NEWIEE on Campus will be at URI on October 16th. Stay tuned for more NEWIEE on Campus updates in next month’s newsletter, and please contact newiee@newiee.org if you would like NEWIEE members to come share their career stories at your school, or if you would like to volunteer to talk to undergraduates about your career.
