Student Branch & Section Collaboration

As a student, the opportunities are endless, but you must create the environment by surrounding yourself with leaders in the field.

 

How can Student Members connect with Sections?

  • Visit myIEEE and MemberNET Rolodex to connect with your Section members: http://www.ieee.org/membership_services/membership/my_ieee.html
  • Proactively reach out to Section leaders via email or by attending local events to display what your Student Branch is doing and what assistance you need.
  • Inquire about opportunities for you to learn more about being involved in your Section even as a Student Member.

What is the value?

  • IEEE members are committed to the same global goal – you will be adding value to this by making new connections, developing new projects, and engaging with other like-minded leaders.
  • Engaging with leaders locally, ultimately developing global partnerships to foster continued improvement.
  • Relationship building
    • Student membership is the beginning of your IEEE relationship – engage with your Section
