IEEE R10 Humanitarian Technology Activities Coordinator: Rajnish Gupta Good morning/afternoon. Thank you for the invitation to speak to you. It is always a pleasure to meet with Student Members of IEEE and those who have recently graduated and become full IEEE Members. In past presentations, I and other IEEE Presidents have discussed -- with groups such as this -- the benefits of IEEE membership and how you should be a member and stay a member. But my experience over time tells me that – because you are here today – you are already aware of these everyday benefits. IEEE R10 Meeting, Bangkok 4-6 March 2016
