SWEepover
The primary purpose of the SWEepover is to help admitted female high school seniors experience life as a female engineering student at our diverse and energetic campus. This program helps students learn more about the fields of engineering and what life at Pitt is like in a two-day, one night experience. The 25-30 visiting girls are paired with freshmen and sophomore engineering hosts and spend in the night in an on-campus dorm. Various activities include campus tours, engineering lab tours, student panel Q&A, dinner at Joe Mama's, and game night at the Nordy's. The overnight stay always precedes a Day for Admitted Students which includes a Swanson School of Engineering presentation, campus walking tour, and Discover Pittsburgh bus tour.
There is no cost for this program (except travel expenses), which includes accommodations, meals, information packets, t-shirt, and participation in all activities. After registration, each prospective female engineering student will receive an overnight permission form and a check-list of items to bring for the overnight stay in the dorm or suite. Space is limited so registrations are accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to make new friends and to become a part of the Pitt SWE community!
