I really enjoyed networking with like-minded STEM students in a fun virtual setting!” -Rhea Jethvani “Attending the SHILA program was an incredible opportunity for emphasizing women in engineering. Being able to connect with fellow scholars who share the same passions as I do, and with awesome mentors was inspiring and helpful as my interest in engineering evolves, and as I work to advocate for more women and girls in STEM.” –Ameera Eshtewi
