[gleem]

"Founded by NSPE in 1951, EWeek (February 17–23, 2019) is dedicated to ensuring a diverse and well-educated future engineering workforce by increasing understanding of and interest in engineering and technology careers.

Today, EWeek is a formal coalition of more than 70 engineering, education, and cultural societies, and more than 50 corporations and government agencies. Dedicated to raising public awareness of engineers' positive contributions to quality of life, EWeek promotes recognition among parents, teachers, and students of the importance of a technical education and a high level of math, science, and technology literacy, and motivates youth, to pursue engineering careers in order to provide a diverse and vigorous engineering workforce. Each year, EWeek reaches thousands of schools, businesses, and community groups across the U.S."https://www.nspe.org/resources/partners-and-state-societies/national-engineers-week

Apparently the students in my department were cooking a free pancake breakfast as part of e-week for the other students but didn't bother to tell the faculty, so I had just eaten breakfast before leaving the house and didn't get any. As a lowly assistant professor, I still jump at the opportunity for free food.
