Student Leadership Sessions Across Region 3

Region 3 Student Activities Chair Regina Hannemann reports that all four student leadership training sessions have been scheduled. Please help advertise those events. Meetings with less than 10 participants will most likely be canceled. SO please make sure students know about these and do register for it. If you are a section leader and wish to help support this activity please contact Regina .

From Regina's report:

What we will do: we will talk about the planning of the school year: What kind of events are good how to organize them how to plan for an SPAC, (what is it, how to set up an SPAC, how to build a budget etc), we will help you set goals for the upcoming year and how to find out that you actually met your goals. (Very important part as this is how you can talk to departments, college and sections and let them know that you know how to get people together and why you should receive some sponsorship for any specific event)

IEEE Day - 2 October 2012

Celebrate IEEE and its members -- our impact and support of our profession.

For the past three years, IEEE through an MGA committee has been organizing an IEEE Day calling on local student branches, sections and chapters to have IEEE activities on or near this date for the promotion and celebration of IEEE.


There is a FaceBook Page and a Google+ Page that tracks activities and where the organizers hang out.  I hope that Region 3 groups will organize, participate, and report on their IEEE Day celebrations.

Thanks to all (in advance) for your efforts and have a great IEEE Day!
