Congratulations to Lacy Lackey
Lacy Lackey, a second semester junior at Washington State University, is the recipient of the Wanda Munn Scholarship this year. This scholarship, named after one of our section members who still lives in the Tri-Cities, is funded by the Eastern Washington Section of SWE.
Lacy is studying Civil & Environmental Engineering at WSU. At WSU she is the president and re-founder of a start-up club called the Water Resources Club. She is also participating in research into how tire wear particles can be broken down by microbes in stormwater, mitigating their negative effects on salmon. When not working on school-related projects, Lacy enjoys backpacking and camping trips, kayaking, and being on Zoom calls with her friends. She looks forward to a career in water engineering, focusing on watershed restoration, water reuse design, and stormwater mitigation. From her upbringing in Northern California – and inspired by the 2015 wildfires in her hometown there – Lacy feels that hydrating our landscapes with more versatile water infrastructure is key to human and ecosystem resiliency in the coming extreme weather conditions.
Framatome Scholarship - Coming Soon
Every year EWS-SWE organizes a scholarship funded by Framatome. The scholarship is awarded annually to a qualified female engineering student who has completed at least one year of studies at an ABET-accredited school with the intention to enter the field of engineering, and who resides in or attends school in Eastern Washington state. This year's scholarship details will be announced soon. For more information, visit http://ews.swe.org/scholarships.html.

Tapping Into Growth Mindset
When: Wednesday, March 17, 2021 @ 6:00 - 7:30 PM
Zoom Presentation
Presenter Kevin Blair is a senior staff development consultant in the Learning and Development Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
In this seminar, we’ll examine Carol Dweck’s research around fixed and growth mindsets and discuss how important growth mindset is for leadership, success, and learning. After examining the traps and limitations of a fixed mindset, we’ll apply growth mindset to difficult work scenarios and brainstorm ways to put it into practice. At the end, you’ll have a chance to apply growth mindset to a real-life challenge and get feedback from colleagues on your next steps.
This will be a very interactive presentation, so a functioning camera and microphone are highly encouraged.
