PRESIDENT: Ozioma Ozigbo

Hi Friend, my name is Ozioma Ozigbo, but you can call me Ozi. I am a senior studying mechanical and energy engineering at the University of North Texas. I was born and raised in Nigeria. I love to dance, write, act, and of course solve math problems. I joined SWE in 2019 because of my desire to be part of a community that empowered women in STEM. I first lead our section as Head of Public Relations and then Vice-President. Today, I am serving as the President of UNT SWE. I truly believe in inspiring and empowering others to strive for excellence. That is my mission as president. My hope is that SWE becomes that channel for you to succeed not just as you pursue you engineering degree, but in your day-to-day life. Don't be afraid to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns or just want to chat!
