3. Group Session1: Love Students

4. 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?

5. 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

6. Student Focus – Solution #2
To create and maintain a standard list of alias addresses – facilitate and easy for students and student branch officers to contact the Section Excom Officers:
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
