The IEEE Wayamba University of Sri Lanka Student Branch held the annual IEEE and WIE awareness program on the 18th of October 2020 from 7.00 pm onwards. Because of the covid pandemic, the program had to be held virtually. With 100+ attendees, a one-and-a-half-hour program was conducted for university freshers and those interested in being a member of the IEEE organization. On the day of the event, the Student Branch recruits freshers who are willing to volunteer with IEEE.
Ms. Warunika Hippola was the keynote speaker of the webinar. She commenced the webinar with Introduction to IEEE. She shared her experiences participating in IEEE events and how she had benefited from them. She gave her insights to participants on how to volunteer with IEEE, the benefits of being an IEEE member, and the opportunities offered by IEEE including Research Publications. Moreover, the audience was given the opportunity to know more about the University Student Branch, including previous events and upcoming events. It was an interesting and informative program that was filled with wholesome compliments from the audience for conducting the session successfully.
