2022 Year in Review
Making Impact, Growing Connections
With the return to in-person activities post-COVID,
2022 was a banner year for IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu filled
with growth, new initiatives and the implementation
of many of the goals set forth at the January Board
retreat. With a reinvigorated committee structure,
strong leadership, hard work, and the dedication of
superlative volunteers, we are proud to look back on
some of the achievements of 2022.
Chapter Service Hours passes
the 100,000 mark!
IEEE-HKN Chapters reported more than 100,000
hours of service in 2022.
Our members are filling a great need on their
campuses, in their departments and communities.
Service work includes: tutoring, STEM outreach,
workshops, and plan.
Now more than ever, HKN students are helping other
students succeed, making a difference as Universities
return to on campus activities and bridge the learning
gap created by COVID.
Chapters Reinvigorated through
Donor-funded Grants Program
A generous donation from John McDonald, Beta
Chapter, and his wife, Jo-Ann, provided the first gift
in support of this dedicated Fund aimed at providing
chapters with a US$250 grant to support community
service, academic support, or Chapter-Building
activities. Since March of 2022, the following eight
Chapters received the grant through this program:
* Mu Chapter (University of California, Berkeley)
* Mu Iota Chapter (Seattle University)
* Delta Omega Chapter
(University of Hawaii - Manoa)
* Epsilon Mu Chapter (University of Texas at Arlington
* Beta Chapter (Purdue University)
* Chi Chapter (Lehigh University)
* Lambda Xi Chapter (Hofstra University)
* Nu Epsilon (Kennesaw State University)
THE BRIDGE
A video documenting the ways that Chapters have
leveraged their funding can be found here. In addition
to direct funding, Chapters can receive coaching from
HKN volunteers and staff through this initiative. In
2022, 20 Chapters took advantage of this relationship
which yielded the following results:
* 10 have reported one or more induction ceremonies
* 11 have reported new officers
* 7 have submitted at least one Activity Report
* 5 have submitted the 2021-2022 Annual Report
* 4 have regained Active Status
New Chapter Established at
Kennesaw State University
On April 24, 2022, the Nu Epsilon Chapter was
established at Kennesaw State University. Governor-atLarge
Ryan Bales presided over the ceremony. Eleven
charter members were inducted into the chapter.

The work continues! The IEEE-HKN Board of
Governors has identified " Strengthening our Chapters "
as a top priority in 2023. If you would like to be
involved in the Chapter Support Initiative or donate to
the Chapter Support Fund, please contact us.
HKN staff member, Sylvie Leal, was promoted
to a newly-created position, Chapter Relations
and Operations Administrator to facilitate the
strengthening of Chapters around the world.
