Dear HKN Members,
Greetings!
It is a pleasure to wish you all a happy new year! I'm
excited to connect with you through this presidential
message. I'm humbled and honored to serve as the
global president of the 2023 IEEE Eta Kappa Nu
Board of Governors (BoG) and for the opportunity
to serve IEEE-HKN members globally this year. My
mission is to serve the needs of HKN members and
deliver unique member-enriching experiences at the
grassroots. " Members like you are the heart and
soul of IEEE-HKN. I strongly believe that student
members, chapter advisers, and alumni, are the
pillars of IEEE-HKN. Without you, the story of HKN's
progress, success, and growth is not complete " .
My top priority is to deliver an exceptional membership
experience and address the key challenges faced by
chapter leaders. To achieve this goal, the 2023 HKN
BoG plans to launch a portfolio of high-impact, global
programs that will promote career development,
increase transnational networking opportunities,
strengthen partnerships with industry and global
organizations, and make IEEE-HKN one of the world's
top trusted sources in technology and innovations.
This year, the HKN BoG will focus on the following five
top priorities:
1) Strengthen Chapters
2) Strengthen Committees
3) Build the Brand
4) Strengthen Collaboration and Partnerships
5) Scale up Development Efforts.
We are starting the year with a great team that will
continue to grow the portfolio of impactful programs
aimed at strengthening IEEE-HKN's position as a
world leader in technology and science. The 2023
IEEE HKN BoG team is already working on defining
a well-thought roadmap to make 2023 an impact
year. To achieve that, we are meeting with key leaders
from across IEEE to define joint partnership programs.
Particularly, we plan to develop and deliver programs
with major IEEE Boards, IEEE Societies, IEEE Regional
Leadership, and Industry. IEEE-HKN will collaborate
both within and beyond IEEE, to foster a community of
technologists reflecting our core values of scholarship,
character, and attitude.
HKN conference programs such as a) Pathways to
Industry b) IEEE-HKN TechX c) IEEE-HKN Student
Leadership Conference d) Pathways to Academia and
d) IEEE-HKN Grad-Lab offer an exciting opportunity for
our members to connect with world leaders in science
and technology, and provide a great opportunity
to support continuous learning and professional
development. I would like to encourage our members
to participate in these programs.
IEEE-HKN offers an exciting lineup of global awards
and recognition programs designed to promote and
encourage educational and professional excellence
in electrical and computer engineering, computer
science, and the IEEE fields of interest. These
awards recognize outstanding accomplishments by
students, professors, and industry professionals who
make significant contributions to society, and who
