Overview

Mission

The Science & Engineering Business Association (SEBA) creates a strong community of science and engineering students pursuing excellence in business. We aim to inspire an entrepreneurial spirit among our members by hosting events that allow them to interact with, and learn from, members of the business community. From these interactions, SEBA members will be able to generate relationships with our business partners, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and the creation of new business ventures. Through SEBA, our members build networks and develop the skills that will ultimately provide them with the foundation necessary to become future business leaders. We strive to be, for students, the 'place where science meets business.'

What it reported doing in 2024

Advancing the professional careers of science and engineering students (primarily at the University of Washington) through the introduction of networking opportunities and professional events, allowing for development of contacts and opportunity awareness.
