Swati Patel, AAUW Fellow & IBC Luncheon Speaker

Last month we gave you a heads up about the Interbranch Council (IBC) Luncheon on Jan. 23. If you didn’t get around to making a reservation then, now is the time! It will be held at one of our favorite venues, Plates, and we will have two great AAUW fellows as our speakers. How can we go wrong?

If you are new to AAUW, you may not know that we give a lot of fellowships on a national level to women who are working on graduate projects of many kinds. We have a regional group of AAUW branches, the Interbranch Council, which comes together once a year to highlight the achievements of a couple of our Northern California fellows. This time we have invited Helen Rocha, a civil engineer from California State University, Sacramento, and Swati Patel, a mathematician from the University of California, Davis, to tell us about what they are doing. Besides hearing about the work of some very talented women, we get to socialize with members of other area branches and learn what they’ve been doing, which is always fun.
