The Women in Engineering Program Office was established in the Spring of 2007. It was established to create a positive change in the engineering environment at LSU, and provide a support structure for women seeking engineering degrees and for girls considering engineering as a college major and/or career. There are many opportunities for you to become involved, find out how your support can help strengthen LSU’s engineering education by visiting our Gift Opportunities page.
