The Purpose

The IEEE Oakland-East Bay Communications Society has commissioned a group of its Members with the task to encourage IEEE Student Members participation in the Society's activities, to promote benefits of IEEE Student Membership, and to endorse formation of new IEEE Student Branches.

The Bridging the Digital Divide project, completed in May 2004, is an example of our involvement with the students of the IEEE chapter at UC Berkeley .

Forms of Assistance and Cooperation

• Maintaining close relationship with existing Student Branches at UC Berkeley and CSU Fresno.
