Washington State University Everett

The IEEE Seattle Section and Education Society Chapter had the honor of hosting Prof. Joe Decuir for a talk titled "Planning for a Successful Engineering Career" at Washington State University's Everett campus. Over 50 engineering students attended, both in person and virtually. The event was received with overwhelmingly positive feedback, with students praising it as insightful, impactful, and engaging. As the Chair of the IEEE Education Chapter, I am deeply grateful for the support of professionals like Prof. Decuir. The IEEE Seattle Section remains committed to providing essential resources and guidance to help the next generation of engineers thrive. #IEEEDAY #IEEEEDUCATION #SeattleSection #WSUEVERETT

Another WJEA Journalism Day is in the books! Roughly 350 students from more than 20 Washington high schools gathered at Everett Community College and Washington State University Everett for a terrific day of professional development and networking. THANK YOU to everyone for coming! I had a blast catching up with alumni and colleagues old and new – and meeting the next generation of journalists and media communicators.   It takes a ton of help to put on such an event (particularly when doing so within our existing budgeted resources!) So a big shout out to:   • Kathy Schrier and the leadership of the Washington Journalism Education Association, for returning to bring such a talented group of speakers to our campuses. • Jeff Purcell, Sara Stout and the rest of the team at Washington State University Everett and the Murrow College in Pullman, for co-hosting (and being our 2+2 pathway partners!) • Heidi Daniel of the King County Library System, for her informative keynote address. • Michael Rhodes, Sam Case and Tina Byrum, our amazing instructional techs. (Seriously, their support is CRUCIAL to the success of this event.) • EvCC’s Vanessa McVay and the staff of The Clipper, for their day-of support of the event. (And a shout out to honorary Clipperian Katherine Schiffner – it’s always great to see you back on campus. We miss you!) • Dr. Florentino Ubungen, EvCC’s Director of Outreach, Recruitment, and Enrollment, for tabling at the event and introducing potential students to our school. (Looking forward to working with you on future outreach projects!) • EvCC JOURNmedia alumni Nichole Bascue (Muckleshoot Indian Tribe), Andress Gonzales (SAP Concur), Taras McCurdie (Everett Herald), Savannah Perkins (Dawn Delivery, Inc.) and Katja Wahl (Bonneville International), for returning to share their diverse range of professional expertise with students. Andress’ top advice for attendees? “Your network is your net worth.” Indeed, I am SO fortunate to have this amazing group of professionals in my network! • Professionals and educators from Centralia High School, JoySauce, Mountlake Terrace High School, Pacific Publishing Company, Inc., The Seattle Times, Student Press Law Center, University of Washington, Walsworth Yearbooks, Washington Coalition for Open Government and Western Washington University, along with author Sonali Kohli and volunteer Diane Johnston, for sharing their time and talents with students from across the region. • Last but not least: EvCC’s Cathy Leaker and Lynn Deeken, for their continued leadership and support of this event. And Rebecca Mathis and all my other EvCC colleagues for their support in ways big and small. Thank you, thank you, thank you!   Hoping we’ll get to do this again in 2025! – TAW #WJEAJDayWest
