IEEE CTS Life Members Austin Monthly Meeting
The Life Members Group - Austin is becoming active again, and has settled on having meetings for a late lunch at 2 PM on the third Tuesday of each month. We will meet at PoK-e-Jo's Smokehouse on Parmer Lane in Austin. This allow us to reserve a meeting room with food service without a large concern about the attendance. Once we have a number of regular attendees, we can consider moving to a lunch hour meeting, if the members would rather do that.

Sabari Raja of Nepris
Supporting STEM Through Virtual Classroom Visits
Nepris allows professionals in any industry to inspire students across the country without ever leaving the office. The skills-based volunteering platform connects professionals with teachers, classrooms, and students virtually, through video-conferencing technology, to provide real-world insight, career exploration, mock interviews, resume prep, virtual tours, and project mentorship/evaluation to students across America.
Through Nepris, STEM professionals across the globe are inspiring the next generation of engineers, welders, scientists, financiers, zoologists, and more. This is all done without any travel, expense, long-term commitment, or complex coordination for the company or volunteer. Professionals can easily sign up for Nepris and create an interactive session (called an Industry Chat) that fits with their schedule, for which teachers can register their classes. Nepris then markets these Industry Chats to the 30,000+ educators in their platform, taking care of the heavy lifting so the volunteer can just create the Industry Chat beforehand, log in the day of, and start inspiring.
