Delta Omega Chapter
First Chapters Receive HKN Chapter
Support Grants
The first IEEE-HKN Student Chapter Support grants
have been awarded to chapters to fund programs
such as chapter-building and visibility activities, a
mentoring event, and an event that engaged alumni.
The officers of the Mu Chapter at the University of
California, Berkeley, used the grant money to offset
costs of purchasing announcement whiteboards
to increase visibility and improve outreach,
better spreading the word on campus and to the
department about their tutoring programs and events.
Officers at the Mu Iota Chapter at Seattle University
used the funds to offset the cost of hosting an ECE
Mentoring Night, which was co-hosted with the ECE
Advisory Board. The event provided students with the
opportunities to meet with industry professionals and
represented the Chapter's biggest event of the year.
The Delta Omega Chapter at the University of Hawaii
at Manoa is using the grant funds to offset the cost
of its annual induction ceremony and banquet,
which brings students, faculty, and alumni together to
recognize induction candidates' hard work throughout
the school year.
The grants are made possible by the IEEE-HKN
Student Chapter Support Fund, launched at the
beginning of 2022. This dedicated fund was
established to create new and enhance existing
resources, training, and programs to help every
chapter thrive. A strong chapter helps ensure
that members have a fulfilling HKN experience
throughout their entire careers.
The two facets of this fund include the IEEE-HKN
Student Chapter Support Grant program and a
supplemental Chapter coaching initiative. For the
latter, HKN volunteers and staff have been coaching
18 university chapters, many of whom are working
to revitalize their activities as the world emerges from
the pandemic. In April, a brand new HKN Chapter
was installed at Kennesaw State University in Georgia.
Join us in congratulating and welcoming the Nu
Epsilon Chapter!
John McDonald, Beta Chapter, and his wife, JoAnn,
made the first gift to this dedicated Fund that
provided the mechanism to launch the program.
Please consider joining them and us in our mission
to give every student the chance to be part of a
successful chapter. You can make a contribution by
choosing the Student Chapter Support Fund from
the drop-down menu on the HKN page of the
IEEE Foundation website.
