Description

Alma Kuppinger Forman, a SWE and Philadelphia Section Charter Member, has been a member of the Philadelphia Section since its inception. She is one of the women engineering students at the Drexel Institute of Technology, now Drexel University, who in November 1946 “organized a society to promote friendship and to help each other with problems.” In the early days when she was a senior and chairman of the SWE group, she had to go to Dr. James Creese, President of the Institute, to get money to sponsor activities such as the 1949 first SWE conference.

In 1949, Alma Kuppinger Forman became the first woman at the Drexel Institute of Technology to receive a degree in Civil engineering. She is a registered Professional Engineer in Pennsylvania.

The Alma Kuppinger Forman Scholarship was formerly a SWE REgion E scholarship.
