Hello students in ECE!

Mark your calendars for May 08, 2009, because starting at 1PM, the first annual ECE Day will be held. ECE Day is a festival / carnival-like for ECE students and faculty to get together and have fun. The event is also to showcase the ECE major - what we do, and how we can have fun - to all students of the Cornell community. Here are some examples of what will happen on ECE Day:

- BBQ - Prof. Pollack, Prof Belina, and others will be flipping burgers!
- Dunk tank! Director Tsuhan Chen has volunteered himself to be dunked on ECE Day! (We are also actively soliciting more professors, so keep your eyes out on the day of the event…)
- Research and student project showcase with PRIZES! (e.g. Macbook)
- Video games, outdoor activities, and many more!
- ECE banquet at night (Statler!)

Please join us for a day of fun and activities.

We are actively looking for more help in the following areas:
- We are always looking for more game ideas! If you have an idea for a game/activity that is fun and can be implemented easily, please let us know
- We are looking for volunteers in all areas - from organizational, brainstorming, banquet, and logistics, etc.

If you have any input for ECE Day, or would like to help out, please let us know by e-mailing ieee.cornell@gmail.com
For more details, please check out the ECE Day page on this website as well!

Hope to see you on May 8th!

Welcome to the first posting on the new Cornell IEEE News weblog! This is where we plan on posting the latest events and happenings within IEEE in addition to the usual outlets, such as IEEE-L. This blog should help as a consolidated source of all the Cornell IEEE news and as a complement to our IEEE-L listserve, in case you happen to miss an email or two from us. The idea is to make it easier for you, our presumably interested audience, to keep track of IEEE and maybe even get involved!

Why a weblog? The format of announcements and news entries is perfect for a weblog style. Plus, seeing as how the IEEE audience is generally tech savvy, using a weblog means that all our posts are also available in RSS feeds, which you can add to your favorite RSS reader. Firefox, Internet Explorer 7, Safari, and Google Reader all support RSS.

Thanks for looking in on the latest piece of the website redesign. Feel free to send any feedback to awr8.
