LARRY
K. WILSON REGIONAL STUDENT ACTIVITIES AWARD
This award recognizes the student most responsible
for an extraordinary accomplishment associated with
IEEE activities.
A
quote from winner's nomination:
There will never be another IEEE student member like
our 2005 Larry K. Wilson Award Winner.
In the words of his former IEEE Branch Counselor,
"This student literally came ready to jump into
IEEE;
he already knew much about IEEE from his dad. His
largest asset during his first year was his almost
unbounded enthusiasm for IEEE and his willingness
to dive into any assigned task."
His
Branch Mentor added, "He has always been willing
to go the extra mile for both promoting IEEE,
like speaking at various classes, and recruiting members."
