SWE COUNSELOR As a new SWE Counselor, I am very excited to be a part of the Tri-State University SWE Chapter. It is obvious by the activity calendar that this chapter is very motivated and off to a great start this year. As a counselor, I am here to help in most any way by: · Being a liaison between industry, SWE Nationals and the   Student Section · Arranging plant tours and locating speakers · Providing advice and suggestions for activities and · Helping to establish goals for the chapter PERSONAL BACKGROUND I recently moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana after finishing my Master's degree at University of California, Davis in Bioenvironmental Engineering.I received my Bachelor's Degree in Biosystems/ Environmental Engineering from Michigan State University and am now working in Fort Wayne as an environmental engineer at Bonar Group, an engineering consulting firm. I am a native Michigander and frequently visit areas "Up North" to go camping and canoeing. I also enjoy skiing, running, and biking and am often found digging around in my flower garden. SWE GOALS My hopes and goals for the TSU SWE Chapter include: · Participating in activities to enhance engineering education · Providing educational opportunities for others in the community · Involving every member of the chapter in planning for events and   activities · Volunteering for community services · Raising money to support trips to conferences and other   leadership and educational opportunities · Attracting new members! The most important thing is to make the TSU SWE Chapter your SWE Chapter and express your ideas to the group. The more input the better! Anne Thomas Bonar Group 616 S.
