This document discusses the future of IEEE Student Branches and student activities. It notes that students currently make up over 20% of IEEE's membership. Student Branches are the heart of student activities and are typically associated with a university. They promote networking, represent student interests, and make students aware of professional responsibilities. Key activities include educational and technical events as well as awards and contests. The goal is to inspire students as future leaders in their fields and encourage lifelong IEEE membership through a quality student experience.
