IEEE-HKN NEWS AND UPDATES
*

The dB Café: The dB Café, formerly the HKN
Donut Stand, is one of the most visible features
of the EECS building. At the Café, we sell bagels,
donuts, pizza, fruit, and much more. The dB Café
is one of biggest ways in which we raise funds to
subsidize our activities throughout the semester.
We also offer corporate sponsorship opportunities,
where sponsors pay for pizza, bagels, or donuts in
exchange for the publicity and good will this fosters
in the student body.

Raspberry Pi Competition: A competition in which
chapter members created and showed projects

Beta Omega taped and published 10 tutoring
videos to our HKN YouTube page, exploring a
wide range of topics; from introductory circuits'
courses, to digital communications, analog circuits,
and even robotics. They plan on increasing their
correspondence with their subscriber base by
managing a secondary email to answer any
questions from subscribers.
Reverse Career Fair: We created a poster displaying
the activities that we currently do as well as what
we would like to do in the future. We had a booth
set up at the Reverse Career Fair with this poster
and business cards for each officer. During this fair
multiple companies approached us and discussed
holding a tech talk for our chapter or supplying us
with funding of their own. This would be extremely
beneficial to our chapter in helping with networking
and internship and job opportunities.

IEEE-HKN currently has 254 chapters. These chapters reported
over 91.000 hours of service to their communities. A directory
of chapters is available on the new IEEE-HKN website
