DIRECTOR'S COLUMN
What did I do this summer?
1. Special Panel on IEEE-HKN at COMPSAC 2017 in Turin, Italy (July)
2. Visit to Mu Nu Chapter at Polytechnic of Torino, Italy (July)
3. IEEE Sections - Sydney Australia (August)
a. Section Leaders Guide to IEEE-HKN
b. IEEE-HKN Ignite Session
Thank you to the Mu Nu Chapter for the very warm reception, for all of your support
at our special panel session at COMPSAC, and the Chapter dinner enjoyed by
all! Meeting with one of our newest chapters, experiencing the enthuasism, and
learning about the successful programs that this chapter was able to put together in
such a short time was a highlight of this trip. Congratulations Mu Nu! If you would
like to learn more about this Chapter, please email me; I am happy to share their
chapter report.
COMPSAC 2017 - The IEEE Computer Society extended an invitation to hold a
special panel session during their conference to promote HKN throughout the
Computer Society and IEEE, and to discuss professional development. HKN and
IEEE are invaluable in developing a professional network, volunteering as a way to
build your reputation as a professional and providing access to engineering and
engineering technology leaders through your involvement.

IEEE Sections Congress is a triennial gathering of Section leadership from all Regions
around the world to collaborate, share ideas, concerns and solutions. IEEE-HKN's
presence was to inform and engage IEEE Sections and Regions to work with and
support HKN chapters and members; raise visibility for our chapters; and create
new opportunities for our members.
All this, plus our new website, Board of Governors meetings, committee work and
developing new collateral and other materials to promote HKN...we have been
busy!
As HKN prepares to celebrate FOUNDERS DAY, thank you for your creativity in
building HK's reputation on your campus, with your alumni, in the engineering
profession, and within yourselves. Let us all celebrate IEEE-HKN; THANK YOU for
being a part of our HKN team!
Yours in HKN,

Director, IEEE-HKN
