We are...Penn State School of EECS Alumni Community

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has an alumni group, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Alumni Society (EECS-AS), whose objective is to promote fellowship and communication among the alumni, faculty and students of the School in order to work for the improvement of all. There are no dues or fees to join and the society is structured around a board of directors that directs the activities. These activities can include membership in alumni committees, participating in the alumni Mentor Collective program, offering practitioner feedback, helping to enhance communications between alumni and students, and assisting students in their success.

Please contact Heather Gummo, program and events coordinator, at hdg10@psu.edu if you would like to join us! We are in need of alumni interested in leadership positions.
