Dr. Amy Goings, president of Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) was our featured speaker at today’s meeting. Dr. Goings gave us an overview of LWTech and how the institute is evolving to meet the needs of the community.

Located just outside of Seattle, WA, Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech) was founded in 1949, and is the only public institute of technology in the state of Washington. LWTech offers six bachelor’s degrees (starting Fall 2017), 47 associate degrees, and 89 professional certificates in 44 areas of study, including STEM-focused programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

LWTech directly serves the communities of Kirkland, Redmond, Bellevue, Kenmore, Mercer Island, Bothell, Woodinville, Carnation, Duvall, North Bend, Fall City, Sammamish, Issaquah, Snoqualmie, Skykomish, Clyde Hill, and Medina. LWTech also serves students from outside our service area, as well as students from around the world.

We all discussed an opportunity for the club, and the Scholarship Foundation of Northshore to leverage the LWTech scholarship application process.

Also thanks to Paul for standing in for Erv.
