new member and not very aware of how to be
involved. Once I graduate, I hope to get a job
in the industry. After talking with several people
at the event, I realized how important and
useful it is to stay involved in PELS even while
working in industry. I plan to renew my membership
and stay involved as much as possible
even after I graduate. I really enjoyed how the
event gave me the opportunity to ask questions
and learn about other members experiences. "

Samhitha Machireddy summarized her experience in a
LinkedIn Post [6] and Xiaoling Li proudly displayed her
WIE and How to Get Involved ribbons in her LinkedIn
post [7]. Samhitha, Anna, Xiaoling, and Xia Du demonstrated
the rewards of stepping forward and becoming
involved-even while still students in university.
If you are looking to learn more about how to get
involved or looking to help someone else be more
engaged with PELS, the created FAQs are available
on the PELS website [3] to support your journey to
engage productively with PELS. Looking forward,
the WiE committee would like to invite YOU to be a
part of our collective growth as a society by inviting
each of you to personally invite someone to a PELS
event-that invite can lead to a great engagement for
someone. You are invited to attend a repeat of this
event at ECCE 2022 in October in Detroit!
