HeForSWE: Cultivating Inclusion Efforts in Collaboration With Male Diversity Partners

The HeForSWE Affinity Group aims to grow advocacy and inclusion efforts in STEM through increasing male diversity partners. This presentation will discuss the current state of women in engineering, provide demographics and statistics of the representation of women in professional STEM fields and women in the collegiate engineering pipeline, and illustrate actionable methods for increasing allyship in both collegiate and professional environments. You will leave the presentation with updated metrics of women in STEM, how the collegiate pipeline directly influences the professional workforce, an understanding of the four methods of closing the gap for increasing allyship and awareness, and actions for change at both the collegiate and professional levels.
