AWARDS/FELLOW WEB SITE DEBUTS

IEEE Awards/Fellow Activities has launched a Web site, www.ieee.org/awards, to promote the IEEE Awards program, encourage nominations, and recognize recipients and sponsors. The site also helps meet one of the IEEE strategic goals–to increase the visibility of the IEEE Awards/Fellow program.

The new site includes explanations of the IEEE medals, corporate recognitions, honorary membership, technical field, service and prize paper awards, and the Fortescue Fellowship. It also highlights the sponsors, lists past recipients with citations for each honor, and provides interactive electronic access to nomination forms. In addition, the site features the 235 members elected as 1998 IEEE fellows.

From the site, members can obtain forms and submit major award nominations via email. Members also can obtain Fellow Kits for the 1999 elections until 15 March, but Fellow nomination forms must be submitted in hard copy by first-class mail or express carrier.

The debut of this site on the Web represents a massive effort by Awards/Fellow staffers Joan Muzzio and Sandy Schumacher with the help of Reginald Hands and Sandy McConville, both of Information Technology.
