IEEE has provided a lot of interaction between engineers from all levels and backgrounds. They've helped me with direction and keeping a level head while pursuing my goals. If I h ad not been volunteering with IEEE, I might not have received my current job.

It contributed greatly to my success in gaining an internship and ultimately a career.
