gEECS would love to have you added as a sponsor! There are many ways to
be a sponsor in many ways to get involved! As female students in EECS, our
members face challenging situations every day! This organization is dedicated to
supporting these students, but we could not do it without external support! If you
would like to help gEECS and our mission, hopefully this page will help you find the
perfect ways to be involved! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the
gEECS officers at
geecs.officers@umich.edu!
gEECS Mentor / Mentee Program:
In the Winter 2013 term, gEECS will be launching their first mentor/mentee
program. This program is intended to support female EECS students at different
positions in life with a mentor or mentee to assist in their current and present
academic, social, and career decisions. We support first-year, undeclared students
who are interested in gEECS, declared undergraduate students, and a wide-range of
graduate students. Presently, gEECS has recruited some alum and current faculty to
assist in this program, but we will need a lot more support if we intend to keep
growing this program!
If you are interested in being a mentor or helping with this program, please
contact the gEECS officers at geecs.officers@umich.edu or the gEECS faculty
advisors!
*Please note, that for the safety of our members, the UM College of Engineering may do a background
check or take other precautions before we implement a relationship with you.
gEECS Event Support:
gEECS tries to implement about one event a month. Our events vary from
social, to academic, to professional. If you (or your organization) would like to
sponsor and/or participate in an event with us, please email the officers at
geecs.officers@umich.edu with a range of dates you are available and ideas you
would like to participate in. Please contact us at least a few months prior, giving us
enough time to coordinate and work together. We cannot guarantee that we can
schedule every event, but we do try to implement as much as possible!
Moreover, if you would like to financially support our organization, please
read the next section!
gEECS Financial Support:
Our members have had incredible opportunities through our sponsors. For
example, in March 2011, gEECS went to on a trip to the Chicago Museum of Science
and Industry free of all transportation, entrance, and hotels costs. Furthermore, in
fall 2012, many gEECS members went to the Grace Hopper Conference with little to
no cost to them.
gEECS tries our very best to provide everything free of cost to our members.
Obviously this can become costly. In order to keep offering great resources and
opportunities, we rely on external financial support. If you would like to give a gift
to gEECS (or sponsor an event), we would be forever grateful!
The University of Michigan has specific procedures to donations. Please read
the following and try to find which best describes your donation. J and thank-you!

2) If you are financially sponsoring an event for gEECS, please contact both
the gEECS officers (at geecs.officers@umich.edu) and Ms. Jennifer Wegner

Payment Procedures:
As a student organization, the payment methods to donate to gEECS are
limited to fit University procedures.
To make a payment directly to the gEECS officers, please contact
geecs.officers@umich.edu. The officers will give you an address to send your
payment to. Moreover, gEECS is only able to accept checks made out to the girls
in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science club at University of Michigan.
The officers will be able to directly submit your payment to the gEECS fund.
The general UM tax ID code for this transaction is: 38-6006309.
To make donations in another method would be difficult. You are more
than welcome to contact the officers and Ms. Wegner
(jwegner@umich.edu) to see if another method is possible.
For other donations and sponsorships, all donations will have to go through
Ms. Wegner, from the College of Engineering. She will notify both the officers and
yourself with the proper procedures. For more information, please see:

parties to keep all records of payments for seven years for tax purposes.
