Four separate Student Branch Leadership Training Workshops
were conducted this fall at schools located throughout Region 3.
The workshops are a combination of presentation, group interaction
and discussion. The locations, host schools and dates of the 1998
Region 3 Student Branch Leadership Training Workshops were:
Birmingham, Alabama (UAB) - Oct. 31, 1998
Charlottesville, Virginia (University of Virginia) - Nov. 7, 1998
Nashville, Tennessee (Tennessee State University) - Nov. 21, 1998
Orlando, Florida (University of Central Florida) - Nov. 21, 1998
The attendance at the 1998 workshops was similar to that seen in
previous years. The number of participants at the four workshops
ranged from ten to twenty while the number of participating
schools ranged from two to six . The cumulative totals for all
four workshops was 57 participants from 16 schools. The comments
from participants received thus far have been overwhelmingly
positive with many students commenting on the value of obtaining
so much useful information early in their tenure as an IEEE
student leader.
Southeastcon '99 is just around the corner (March 26-29 in
Lexington, Kentucky). The host branch at the University of
Kentucky has been working hard in preparation for a great Region
3 Student Conference. Student Branches should start making plans
to attend Southeastcon ‘99 and participate in student activities
such as the Student Hardware Competition ("A Grand Tour of
Kentucky"), the Student Paper Competition, the Student Software
Competition, the Webpage Competition, Branch Chairs Workshop and
Branch Counselors Workshop. More information about these
activities can be found by visiting the Southeastcon ‘99 website
