We in Space Portland State University

Slide 1–> Savannah Krupa (She/Her/Hers)
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“I felt comforted and excited about a space (pun intended) for gender-minority students such as myself to come together and talk and learn about space. There aren’t enough opportunities in our classes to meet everyone! So, I wanted to be a part of making that space :P for others!”
Fun Fact: I love New Girl, black ops 2 and ceramics :).

Slide 2–> Savvy (She/Her/Hers)
Major: Electrical Engineering
“I am the only woman in most of my classes and so I really wanted to help create a community for gender minorities in STEM.” —>Fun Fact: Last summer, I worked on a satellite!

Slide 3–> Elsabeth Ghebregherghis (She/Her)
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“I have always been interested in space and this allows me to explore my interests in an inclusive environment” —>Fun Fact: I believe oreos are the worst cookies👀

Slide 4–>Rowan Hamilton (They/Them)
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“I was enthusiastic to be a part of We in Space because it is a club that focuses on underrepresented genders in space. These are two of my favorite cross sections - gender expansions and the universe beyond our planet.” Fun Fact: I’m an Aquarius with an Aquarius moon and a Scorpio rising. ♒️♒️♍️

Slide 5–>Sam Betchel (She/Her)
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“Love space and a gender minority community!” -Fun Fact: I am an artist and I like to laser etch my art. One of my favorite songs recently is by REO SpeedWagon, Keep on Loving You.

Slide 6–> Laura Skinner (She/Her)
Major: Mechanical Engineering
“I originally got into engineering through an after school STEM program. I know how important it is to have safe spaces and spaces you feel represented in, and I want to provide that for my peers and a new generation of engineers!” Fun Fact: I love to knit! I find it relaxing and love the community here in Portland. If you see me wearing a sweater, there is a 99.99% chance that I knit it! Slide 7–> August Bueche (She/They) Pic coming soon!! Major: ME “I was drawn to WIS because of its mission to create space for gender minorities in engineering.”
Fun Fact: I am a cat loving Libra!🐈

We in Space is having an info session on Friday, April 8th, from 11 am to 12 pm in both KMC 533 (for current PSU students) and on zoom (hybrid event). Food will be provided if attending in person, and the zoom link can be received by registering through the QR code or the link in our bio!

We in Space is a student group at PSU where people from all majors and backgrounds can come together in our love for space! We wish to make a more inclusive environment for women, gender minorities, and allies interested in aerospace, while promoting inclusivity and accessibility for all underrepresented groups within the industry. We pride ourselves on being a fun and collaborative environment. We do space-themed STEM outreach for all ages as well as networking, professional development, and panels on inclusivity and opportunities within the industry.
