Congratulations and Welcome to our 2021 Officers! 

President: Cindy Jiang
My name is Cindy Jiang and I am a junior Chemical Engineering major with a concentration in Biomolecular Engineering and a Chemistry minor. I joined SWE my freshman year because I wanted to make new friends and surround myself with a group of strong women who have similar experiences being a woman in STEM. I joined the Board my sophomore year as the Secretary and I'm so glad I did it. I have significantly improved my confidence and leadership skills by joining SWE and being a part of the Board. 

Vice President: Carolyne Shultes
My name is Carolyne Shultes and I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineering Major with a Minor in Mathematics. I am the current SWE Vice President and I could not be more excited for this opportunity. I have been an active member of SWE ever since a freshman and served as the Outreach Chair for the last two semesters. I am especially excited to continue to build a community in which Clarkson women engineers can learn and prosper as we continue our education and prepare for our professional careers.  I joined SWE because I wanted to gain connections with a diverse group of females. They have been a resource to support and guide me through my education and professional experiences. I am passionate about SWE so I will work everyday to ensure that Clarkson SWE members would continue to get the support that we need and deserve. I look forward to participating in this empowering organization for many years to come. ​

Secretary: Kirsten Lehnen
Hi, my name is Kirsten Lehnen and I am a sophomore Civil Engineering major with an
Environmental Engineering minor. I joined SWE as a freshman with the intent of meeting like
minded women in STEM. Little did I know that one year later I would be an active member with a board position. Joining SWE was one of the best decisions I have made. It has not only
introduced me to other female engineering students, but has allowed me to meet great
companies and professors as well. I am so excited to be taking on a larger role in SWE!

Treasurer: Holly Rossmann
My name is Holly Rossmann and I’m a Sophomore Computer Science major with minors in Mathematics and Business. This is my second year as the SWE Treasurer, and I have loved being a part of this community! As an eBoard member, I have been given the opportunity to help out with the entirety of the society, and I thoroughly enjoy helping to host events and helping to empower women on campus. At Clarkson it is important to have women role models in your life, and there is no better way to gain lifelong friends than to collaborate with other women in STEM. SWE has been an amazing club to be a part of, and I look forward to continuing this path as I progress through my degree.

Professor Development Co-Chair: Gwynn Howell
​My name is Gwynn Howell and I am a Sophomore Mechanical Engineering major with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I am currently a Professional Development co-chair in SWE, and I couldn't be happier about my decision to be a part of such a supportive team. I joined SWE after I switched to an engineering major freshman year, knowing I would need a community of people to help me through the next four years. I am inspired by the dedication everyone in SWE has to engineering and each other, and I hope to continue working with SWE during my time in college and in my future career.
Professor Development Co-Chair: Skyler Strobel
My name is Skyler Strobel and I am a Sophomore Chemical Engineering major with a concentration in Biomolecular Engineering. I joined SWE at the start of my Sophomore year at Clarkson. Being surrounded by supportive women allowed me to become more confident as a student. I have been introduced to so many amazing opportunities and professional experiences since I became a member. My favorite part of SWE is the collaboration of so many unique minds to create a strong community for women. Now, I serve as the Professional Development Co-Chair of SWE. I’m excited to work with a variety of companies to introduce beneficial experiences to Clarkson’s SWE members.   I hope to continue to serve as an officer during the rest of my time at Clarkson and support this organization after graduation. ​
Outreach Chair: Meredith Muller
​My name is Meredith Muller and I am a junior Chemical Engineering Major with a Minor in Chemistry. I am the current Outreach Chair for SWE and I am so thankful to be a part of this organization! I joined SWE this year and am thrilled to learn more about the organization. After being in the society for such a short period of time I have already had so many opportunities to grow as a professional. Having the opportunity to be a part of a network of like-minded women has allowed me to gain confidence as a professional. I am excited to take up the role of Outreach Chair to help the community that we are lucky to be a part of at clarkson. Having the opportunity to reach out to the next generation of Women Engineers and showing them the possibilities the STEM field has to offer is something I am so Excited to do!
