How did IEEE find you?
|
| When I applied to be
student editor of IEEE Potentials in
2002...the rest is history.
|
Describe something that you did as a
volunteer that you are proud of:
|
| I edited IEEE Women
in Engineering's email newsletter last year,
and worked hard to make it fun and
interesting.
|
How has IEEE nurtured you as a person?
|
| Meeting people from
all over the world is an enriching
experience.
|
How has IEEE prepared you for your workplace?
|
| Since I want to be a
professor, all the editing, reviewing, and
committee work is great preparation for my
career. It's been very
helpful to serve on committees with
professors from several
universities all over the world.
|
What do you find unique about IEEE?
|
| Its size and
diversity, which ensure that there's
something for every technical or
professional interest imaginable.
|
Does volunteering help you to achieve
your aspirations?
|
|
It's an
important part of my chosen profession
-- good thing it's so much fun!
|
An IEEE friend who left an inspiring
impression on you.

Darrel
Chong is the most dedicated
volunteer I've ever met, and shows that
one person can do great things
in this organization with a positive
attitude and some hard work.
Adrian Pais is spending a year
volunteering in Zambia and still finds
time to come to meetings and
edit the GOLD newsletter, which is amazing!
