Project poster

Making Connections at the UW Women's Center serves Seattle high-school students with tutoring, mentoring and college preparation. There are hundreds of alumni, the majority of whom are first-generation college women pursuing careers in STEM fields. Although alumni want to network with each other, Making Connections does not have an efficient system to do this. Our web application provides users with a detailed alumni directory and community platform that allow users to network and share resources about job & internship opportunities, scholarships and more. Facilitating alumni networking will help students access resources & feel like part of the Making Connections community.
