The purpose of this award is to recognize annually, in each Region of the IEEE, the student member most responsible for an extraordinary accomplishment associated with student activities. The value of a pattern of dedicated, ongoing service to a Student Branch, Student Branch Chapter is certainly recognized. However, this award is designed to reward a particular event, program or product of IEEE activities.
The student most responsible for a worthy accomplishment may be nominated by a Branch Counselor, Section Chair, Section SAC Chair or other IEEE volunteers. The nominator(s) shall complete a nomination form and forward it to the Regional Student Activities Chair (RSAC). Nominees must be Student members of the IEEE at the time of the accomplishment. The incumbent Regional Student Representative (RSR) is ineligible.
The nominations will be judged by a committee appointed by the Regional Director or his/her designee (RSAC). This regional committee will be responsible for establishing guidelines for judging, while maintaining fairness, objectivity, and high standards. Student nominees will be judged primarily on the impact of their accomplishment on the quality of student activities within the Region and the IEEE as a whole. If no nominations of sufficient stature are made, no award will be given for that year. Only one award per region will be presented each year.
This award consists of a customized award plaque and three years complimentary membership in the IEEE. Presentation of the award will be arranged by the Regional Director at an appropriate Regional occasion. The results will also be published Institute-wise at the earliest opportunity. The nomination form is available. The deadline varies in each Region. If you need more information, you can contact IEEE Student Services or your RSAC. This award is sponsored by the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGA).
