Group Session1: Love Students

Student Focus Before brainstorming for solutions, the group discussed the existing problems, and understood the students’ needs. Then, the group generated a list of problems. Next, the group identified the key problem - Poor Communication between Sections and Student Branches, and lack of awareness of IEEE Section existence How can Region 1 help?

Student Focus – Solution #1 Generate a plan to show students how IEEE and Section can help the student branches Encourage and Reward Sections to hold the Section Excom meetings with the student branches or at schools Encourage and Reward Sections to collaborate with a student branch to plan and organize an event/activity For Examples: SPAC/iSTEP – New York Section MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference – Boston Section

Student Focus – Solution #2 To create and maintain a standard list of email alias addresses – facilitate and easy for students and student branch officers to contact the Section Excom Officers: BostonChair@ieee.org, BostonSupersoon@ieee.org To train Section and Student Branch Officers on how to promote IEEE and sell membership (at MD booth, meetings/events, freshmen orientation, etc) Provide volunteer opportunity for students Recruit faculty members to outreach and support their students
