    This episode of Diverse is brought to you by the University of Washington Bothell's nine-month graduate certificate program in software design and development. On July 1, 2026, Kerrie Greenfelder assumes the role of president of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), concluding Inaas Darrat’s term as SWE president. In this annual passing-the-torch conversation, Inaas reflects on her “Embrace Your Story” theme and explores how vulnerability, career pivots, and authentic storytelling resonated with SWE members around the world. Kerrie introduces her theme of “Radiate Change” and discusses how SWE can continue its mission for the next 75 years. She shares her vision for strengthening SWE’s visibility and “being the best for the most” in a world that is changing so rapidly. Plus, hear their favorite moments from the past year including jazz in New Orleans, glitter shoes, and the humor that comes with a career in wastewater engineering. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting nearly 45,000 members of all genders spanning 90+ countries.

  • Ep 373: Beyond the Community College Classroom: Golf, Networking, and Swing 4 SWE

    Ep 373: Beyond the Community College Classroom: Golf, Networking, and Swing 4 SWE
    Jun 23 2026
    The golf course is often called a “second office,” where business deals and professional relationships are formed — but too often, women in engineering haven’t felt comfortable stepping into that space. In this episode, Nichole Neal, engineering faculty at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, and Kellie Phong, regional sales manager at Keysight Technologies, share how they created Swing 4 SWE, an initiative designed to bring students, faculty, and industry together on the green. Nichole reflects on how missing early-career golf invitations inspired her to build a program where women can learn the game in a supportive environment, and Kellie shares how Swing 4 SWE helped her say yes to networking opportunities she once would have avoided. Hear their personal experiences as first-generation college students, how Swing 4 SWE connects SWE members across community colleges and four-year universities, and why community colleges are a launchpad for success in the modern AI era. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting nearly 45,000 members of all genders spanning 90+ countries.
