Ep 326: Speaking Up as Collegiate Women in Engineering
Speaking up in engineering classes, labs, and group projects isn’t always easy — especially at the collegiate level.
In this episode of Diverse, Eden Katz, vice president-internal at Columbia SWE, and Lauren Grae, vice president-external at Columbia SWE, sit down with host Sam East to reflect on how they’ve built confidence as women in engineering, including the moments they spoke up and what happened after.
Hear practical advice and relatable stories around using your voice unapologetically and creating STEM environments where everyone feels safe to contribute -- including their favorite phrase that every ally needs to know.
