The Darrel Chong Student Activity Award

1. This award requires interested student groups to submit a description of an organized activity.
2. This award is not competitive in nature and does not limit the number of winners to each medal. It allows the same submitted activity to be elevated to the next highest medal based on future improvements made in subsequent years. Note: The activities that have been organized more than once will be given more consideration. The intent is to encourage consistency, spurring Student Branches to discover their niche and continually improve on it.
3. All IEEE Student Branches, Student Branch Chapters, and Student Branch Affinity Groups of Women in Engineering (WIE) are eligible for this award program.
4. Activities organized by multiple Student Branches and/or Student Branch Chapters are also eligible.
