Event Recap: January Social Brunch and Hidden Figures

by Dallas SWE on in Membership Appreciation

On Saturday, January 7th, Dallas SWE hosted the first Social brunch of 2017 to ring in the new year with members and their friends! Twenty-five people attended the brunch at Henry’s Majestic in Uptown, filling up their heated patio, where they gave us a warm welcome and a special menu. Afterwards, several members and friends headed over to the Angelika Film Center in Dallas to watch Hidden Figures, a film about the incredible women computers at NASA who never got the recognition they deserved for their roles during the Space Race. Dallas SWE members were also invited to a pre-screening at the Angelika in November and we filled 40 spots during that event! Keep a lookout for more Dallas SWE member appreciation activities in the coming months.

The next Social Brunch is tentatively scheduled for Engineering week on Saturday, February 25!
