Members of the PCA interact with Michigan Tech in a variety of ways. Their service to the University impacts MTU in many ways, as well. A few examples of their contributions include:
PCA Meetings/Events - members regularly attend annual PCA meetings where they meet with different MTU faculty, staff, students, and/or administrators. Often, these meetings conclude with the development of a set of recommendations for MTU (sent to the MTU President) on how to continue building a supportive and welcoming environment for all students.
- Classroom Visits - members often serve as role model speakers in classes at Michigan Tech
- Recruiting Visits - several members return to MTU to recruit students to work in their companies
- Advisory Boards - many members also serve on corporate or other advisory boards to the department from which they graduated
- Brown Bag Lunches - PCA members sometimes lead free brown bag lunch seminars that are open to all members of the MTU community; these sessions cover topics that range from opportunities for women in different fields to gender issues on the job to how to make the most of your time at Michigan Tech
- Dine With Industry - many PCA members attend the Society of Women Engineer's Dine With Industry event to serve as role models and answer questions/provide insights to members of SWE
- Women of Promise - each year, the PCA helps induct undergraduate women at Michigan Tech into their "Women of Promise" (see more about this program at XYZ)
- Visits with High School Students - PCA members sometimes carry the MTU message to high schools or college fairs in their areas
- Alumni Events - members attend a variety of MTU Alumni events, both on and off campus, including the annual Alumni Reunion
- Special MTU Events - PCA members also attend special MTU events like sport competitions that are held near them (away trips for our teams) or things like "the Bash at the Big House"
