Big Sibling Program Registration
Hey Cal Poly SWE,
Hope everyone is having a great summer thus far! I am emailing to ask everyone to please consider becoming a Big Sibling in our Big Sibling/Little Sibling Program! This program requires very little time commitment and has been a lot of fun in the past. During the first week of August, we will pair you up with an incoming freshman or transfer female engineering student who is preferably in your major. Throughout the year, you will be their "Big Sibling" sending them encouraging emails at times, like before finals and giving them advice if they ask questions. There will also be a couple of fun sibling outings that we will plan, and you can also plan some of your own with them.
Please consider helping out SWE and the incoming female students in your major!
All we need from you right now is your name, email address, phone number and major. You can also tell us some of your hobbies if you would like!
Please respond by Sunday, July 31st if you would like to be involved.
We will be in contact with you as the summer progresses. Big Sibling/Little Sibling pairings will be made during the first week of August and we will also send out a design for an optional T-shirt that can be purchased!
Thank you for your help!
