Student Life

Our vision is to promote an inclusive community that fosters leadership, learning, and lifelong success to enhance the holistic experience for our students.


 

With over 40 engineering student organizations, including engineering competition teams, and over 4,000 engineering students, the Gallogly College of Engineering leadership, faculty, and staff works to support our students and their organizations throughout the year by providing leadership and learning experiences that promote an inclusive, creative, and diverse community.  We achieve these goals with the following programs:

Engineering Graduate in convocation
Women In Engineering

As part of the Gallogly College of Engineering’s strategic plan, we expanded our efforts to inspire and foster the advancement and achievement of women in engineering and sciences.  To facilitate this goal, we launched a full-scale Women in Engineering program.  This exciting new chance to support, engage, and educate our students includes a wide-variety of opportunities such as mentorship, scholarships, K-12 outreach, retention and professional development programs.

Jerry Holmes Leadership Program

The Jerry Holmes Leadership Program for Engineers and Scientists provides leadership education for students in the Gallogly College of Engineering and the Mewbourne College of Earth and Energy.  Students enrolled in the program work with professional mentors to design a personal leadership development plan. They attend monthly topical meetings and other events where they hone their leadership skills, and they create real impact as leaders within the university and surrounding communities.
