IEEE-HKN Celebrates Outstanding
Chapter Award Recipients!
The IEEE-HKN Outstanding Chapter Award (OCA)
is a prestigious recognition of excellence in chapter
administration and programs. The award, created
by the IEEE-HKN Board of Governors, is based on
the activities and descriptions of chapter programs
documented in the Annual Chapter Report.
Conference, held in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr.
Karen Panetta, 2019 IEEE-HKN President, represented
HKN at the ceremony and was joined by students
from Purdue University - Beta Chapter, University
of North Texas - Lambda Zeta, and Arizona State
University - Epsilon Beta Chapter.
The 2021-2022 Outstanding Chapter Award
Recipients are (listed Chapter, School):
* Beta, Purdue University
The Sandia Mountains provided a beautiful background for the OCA
Award Ceremony in New Mexico.
The OCA committee considers various factors when
determining recipients, with an emphasis on service
activities towards the department, school, community,
and chapter. Additionally, it is essential that the
chapter promote IEEE-HKN's objectives by inducting
eligible undergraduate and graduate students and
faculty in the technical fields of interest designated
by IEEE and participating in student chapter projects.
The winning chapter reports are evaluated based
on criteria that include enhancing professional
development, improving instructional and institutional
standards, fostering scholarship and creativity,
providing public service, and advancing IEEE-HKN's
established goals. With its members' high standards of
scholarship and leadership qualities, each chapter has
significant potential. The OCA is traditionally regarded
as a prestigious honor due to the excellence of past
winning chapters.
The 2021-2022 OCA was awarded to 21 IEEE-HKN
chapters. Plaques were presented to the department
chairs of the winning HKN chapters on Sunday, 19
March 2023 at the IEEE-HKN Awards Reception
during the Electrical & Computer Engineering
Department Heads Association (ECEDHA) Annual

According to Nancy Ostin, HKN Director, " the
Outstanding Chapter Award recognizes the
commitment HKN and our chapters have to
community service. Last year, HKN Chapters
performed over 100,000 hours of service and
impacted many thousands of fellow students and
members of their communities; this is what we
recognize and celebrate. "
Thank you to ECEDHA for your support of HKN!
