The goal of the event is to bring t ogether the University’s generous alumni and friends who make gifts to s upport student scholarships and the ambitious and determined students who benefit from that support. [scholarship luncheon story (fdu.edu)](https:// support.fdu.edu/home-page-stories/scholarship-luncheon-story)\n\nDr. Ajay Poddar\, Chair of the IEEE North Jersey Section\, interacted with the dono rs\, FDU faculty staff\, and students\, and share the importance of IEEE m embership for professional networking and career growth. Dr. Poddar discus sed the IEEE STEM (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics) i nitiative\, IEEE SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) \, and IEEE AP-S COPE (Committee on Promoting Equality) project for the be nefit of the underserved communities worldwide to support the IEEE Mission -"Advancing Technology for Humanity".\n\nRecently Student Project was subm itted on the topic " EARLY DETECTION OF MELANOMA SKIN CANCER" for the cons ideration of approval from IEEE AP-S and IEEE North Jersey Section. Skin c ancer is a significant problem for public health\, and it can affect anyon e\, regardless of skin color\, gender\, and age. Further\, it is a leading cause of death worldwide. In the USA\, it has been reported that there ar e more than 100\,000 new patients in 2020. The deadliest and most severe f orm of skin cancer is called Melanoma. Most melanoma cases are due to skin exposure to natural and artificial UV light. Its radiation destroys the D NA of skin cells. Furthermore\, melanoma skin cancer is one of the leading health problems throughout the world\, and the vast majority of skin canc er deaths are from Melanoma. Melanoma is curable up to 99 percent if it is early detected and treated - before it spreads to the lymph node.\n\nTo s upport the mission – advancing technology for the benefit of humanity – and the vision of IEEE\, the FDU’s IEEE Student Branch Chapter joint ly collaborated with IEEE North Jersey Section AP/MTT Joint Chapter\, IEEE North Jersey Section SIGHT\, IEEE AP-S COPE\, and IEEE AP-S SIGHT. The pr oject proposals address the DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion)\, engagem ent of local high School Students in the training\, STEM initiatives in an underserved community\, scaling\, and sharing with other IEEE chapters wo rldwide. The outcome of this project will satisfy the AP-S COPE mission\, specifically\, training the undergrad students and preparing them as an am bassador for giving training to next-generation high school students\, thi s will create a long-term impact and motivate the local students in servin g members and community we live in. Finally\, it leverages the possibility of challenging and fair service opportunities for better health care and medical technology by using Antenna and other engineering technology for l ow-cost medical solutions.\n\nStudents are encouraged to apply for the “ Divyansh Atman Poddar Student Scholarship/Project Award” for pursuing th eir careers in STEM and Engineering Education for contributing to society. Donors are encouraged to support the scholarship project for STEM (Scienc e\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Mathematics) Education for addressing t he IEEE Mission "Advancing the technology for Humanity".\n\n[Divyansh Atma n Poddar scholarship (fdu.edu)](https://support.fdu.edu/our-stories/poddar -scholarship)\n\n[Leveraging Technology for Sustainable Development - IEEE SIGHT](https://sight.ieee.org/)\n\n[Committee On Promoting Equality (COPE ) (aps-cope.org)](http://aps-cope.org/)\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE North Jer sey Section\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ajay Poddar\, Chief Scientist\, Christopher S.
