To:       Region 3 Committee / Executive Committee
From:     J. Patrick Donohoe, Region 3 Educational Activities Chair
Subject:  Educational Activities Committee Report
Date:     26 March 2002

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Mark Tew at the University of
Mississippi has agreed to serve as Region 3 Educational Activities
Vice Chair for 2002-03.  Part of Mark's responsibilities will be to
administer the Region 3 Lending Library.  You can find an online
listing of the materials in the Region 3 Lending Library which are
currently available for loan at

https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/3/eac/lending-library.html

This material is available for loan to individual IEEE members,
Sections or other IEEE groups in Region 3.  Contact Mark directly at
eemdt@olemiss.edu if you are interested in utilizing material in the
Lending Library.  More than likely, the first thing that you will
notice while perusing the Region 3 Lending Library is the need to
update the material in the library.  This is one of the priorities of
the Region 3 Educational Activities Committee.  Once the Lending
Library has been updated, we will send out information to the Region 3
Sections.  Given that many IEEE members in Region 3 are Professional
Engineers in states that require yearly Professional Development Hours
(PDH's) for continued registration, the Region 3 Educational
Activities Committee will focus on material which should be useful for
this purpose.

The Region 3 Educational Activities Committee has selected an award
recipient for the 2001 IEEE Region 3 Employer Professional Development
Award.  Once the Region 3 Executive Committee has approved this award,
we will announce the winner.
