Endowed scholarship created in memory of SWE member Wendy Landwehr
In the summer of 2017, the Chicago Regional Section (CRS) leadership learned of the sudden passing of Wendy Landwehr. Wendy was a past CRSpresident, a past member of the Board of Directors for SWE, and a newly elected trustee. To help the memory of Wendy live on, CRS is establishing an endowed scholarship in her memory. This scholarship will be awarded to a female college student studying engineering.
Donate Here!
One of Wendy’s passions within SWE was working with the students, so a scholarship named after her was the best way CRS determined to keep her spirit alive. Visit here to make a donation, or checks can be mailed to: SWE Chicago Regional Section, PO Box 95525, Palatine, IL 60095-0525. Please make a note that the donation is for the Wendy Landwehr Fund. Any questions can be addressed to swecrs.treasurer@swe.org.
