Student Branch Reports

1)  Cubesat Developers Conference report? (USD) Still looking for this. 

2) Rising Stars UCSD funding request

My name is Mustahsin Zarif and I am the Chair of the UC San Diego IEEE Student Branch. 

I am writing to request the IEEE San Diego Section’s support to send two IEEE student branch officers to the 2025 IEEE Rising Stars Conference (www.ieee-risingstars.org/) in Las Vegas January 3-5. IEEE Rising Stars serves as a link between a large pool of diverse students and early career professionals with presentations on both technical and professional topics. And many of the industry participants are actively recruiting students at the conference for internships and jobs. 

IEEE Rising Stars will allow us to connect what we learn in the university environment to what the industry standards are, provide us with invaluable career knowledge, give us the opportunity to meet members from other student branches to share best practices and to display our student branch projects in a Project Showcase.

The estimated cost of attendance per individual for IEEE Rising Stars is $737. This amount covers the registration fee, transportation, lodging, and meals.
