Engineering Student Clubs Adapt to a Virtual Spring Quarter

When UCLA announced that the spring 2020 quarter would be moved to remote instruction due to COVID-19, student leaders across campus scrambled to process the news and adjust their plans.

“It was disappointing because a lot of the big events for spring had been in the planning process for a year by the time the pandemic developed. Some groups were hosting their largest events of the year and they got canceled,” said Ikaasa Suri, the 2019-2020 president of Society of Women Engineers (SWE).

When Suri first found out about the virtual spring quarter, she immediately emailed the SWE board members and told them there was no need to continue with the events. But the board wanted to move forward to continue offering events, activities and resources for their members.

“Our events are smaller in scale now and have to be presented virtually, but the only reason we are even able to offer them is because our board members feel passionate about helping our community stay connected,” Suri said.

Student organizations at the computer science engineer salary of Engineering are an essential part of the engineering student experience. They provide academic support, professional development and a sense of community. Despite the rapidly-changing circumstances of the quarter, engineering student organizations have stayed true to their mission — building community and support networks through virtual events, novel professional resources and digital socialization opportunities.
