A recipe for mentorship success. Angelus McNally (SCU SWE President), along with Geetha Arun (Synopsys) gave a talk, "Recipe for Creating a Successful Collegiate-Industry Mentorship Program," about the SCU SWE and Synopsys mentorship program. They presented this at the Society of Women Engineers National Conference (SWE21), which is the world's largest conference for women in engineering. The SCU/Synopsys mentorship program runs each school year and pairs up SCU women in engineering with female mentors employed at Synopsys in various capacities for general career and life mentorship and support.

SHPE Leads Students from King High School, Florida. Students from Santa Clara's SPHE met over zoom with students from King High School in Florida to share their STEM experiences and college journeys. SPHE was able to interact with the younger students and show them the possibilities of a future in STEM. This connection was made possible through King High's SHPE president who attended the School of Engineering's Summer Engineering Seminar program this summer.

Faculty lightning talks. The School of Engineering has started a datablitz, where you can find short videos from our faculty regarding some of their current research. Check out the first group of these talks which include "Bioinnovation and Collaboration" by Dr. Prashanth Asuri, "Bias in Venture Capital" by Dr. Maya Ackerman, and more. Additional lightning talks will be added throughout the school year. Visit our YouTube playlist to watch.

Congratulations to Dr. Andy Wolfe! Dr. Andy Wolfe (Electrical and Computer Engineering) has been elevated to IEEE Fellow for "contributions in hardware code compression of embedded software power consumption analysis and optimization."
