IEEE Celebrates 125th Anniversary with IEEE Xplore Customers
George Plosker, the Silicon Valley based IEEE Client Services manager has been eating quite a bit of cake lately.  Specifically, IEEE 125th Anniversary cake at events held at IEEE Xplore client sites.  This month, George has been to UC San Diego, USC, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. 

At the two schools, each event drew over 125 attendees including faculty from the engineering schools, IEEE student members, and librarians who administer IEEE Xplore at their campuses.  These events were designed to increase networking among the IEEE communities and succeeded with all having a good time and enjoying refreshments. Short presentations included recognizing IEEE award winners and recently promoted Fellows, a history and update on IEEE, and introductions to the Student Chapter activities. 

At the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Barbara Amago, Supervisor of the Library Group, was recognized for receiving the NASA Exceptional Service Medal for her tireless efforts "to ensure NASA mission success by providing JPL researchers the top-quality information required for winning proposals, solving time-critical problems, designing experiments, and developing technologies crucial to NASA."

IEEE Seeks Volunteers for Humanitarian Technology Challenge
The Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC) is a partnership between IEEE and the United Nations Foundation designed to bring together technical professionals and humanitarians to develop technological solutions for pressing challenges facing humanity. The program is offering a unique opportunity for those experienced in systems engineering to work directly with prominent humanitarian volunteers to address these initial challenges:
  • Reliable Electricity – Availability of power for electronic devices
  • Data Connectivity– Capability of exchanging data among remote field offices and central health facilities
  • Individual ID – Maintain consistent patient records, including when patients visit different clinics and relocate.

Be part of the technology solutions of the future and help benefit humanity. Learn more about the Humanitarian Technology Challenge by visiting the HTC Web site.
