The IEEE-HKN Board of Governors has conferred upon the Gamma Gamma Chapter of Clarkson University, the 2023-2024 IEEE-HKN Outstanding Chapter Award.
This prestigious award is presented to IEEE-HKN Chapters in recognition of excellence in their Chapter administration and programs. Just 22 Chapters out of 276 were recognized for their work during the 2023-2024 academic year.
Chapters are selected based on their activities, community service and outreach, and the impact they have had on the Department, the University, and the community. Of vital concern to the Outstanding Chapter Awards evaluation committee are activities that advance professional development; raise instructional and institutional standards; encourage scholarship and creativity; provide a public service, and generally further the established goals of IEEE-HKN.
A ceremony to present award plaques will be held on Sunday, 23 March as part of the 2025 Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Head Association Annual Conference being held 20-24 March 2025 in Norfolk, Virginia.
