A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT

My dear IACEE members:
 
How are you all? We hope you are staying safe and healthy, and maybe getting ready for the winter/summer holiday break.
 
We are publishing Pulse after a long time and I am pleased to announce that we have a new vice president of communication and member engagement, Dr. Patricia Caratozzolo of Tec de Monterrey from the newly elected 2021-2024 Council. Together with our operations and communications manager, Camille Howard, Patricia will be engaging with you through Pulse and other channels. Besides Patricia, there are many newcomers to the Council (elected in May 2021), and you can find the roster on our website.
 
The next World Conference will be in Buffalo, NY, USA, on June 6-10, 2022, hosted by the University of Buffalo. Please find the announcements in this Pulse. We look forward to seeing you there. We hope you will consider submitting your presentation, panel and/or paper abstracts online at https://www.iacee2022.org/abstracts/. The registration will open soon.
 
The new Council met twice in the summer of 2021 and we envision to become the leading continuing engineering education professional organization that helps individuals and institutions grow to contribute to a sustainable and equitable world and society through continuing engineering education endeavors. Our work does, and will continue to, contribute to accomplishing the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals in 2030. Our organization’s prosperity will  depend on three following P’s:The vice presidents leading the above three efforts are Dr. Yakut Gazi (Georgia Institute of Technology, USA); Dr. Patricia Caratozzolo (Tec de Monterrey, Mexico); and Ragna Ann Berge (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway). If we do the above three P’s right, our organization will prosper and thrive. We are working on new webinars, organizational process systematization and member involvement in our efforts. I invite you to join in our efforts, so please drop me a line at soma.chakrabarti@iacee.org.
 
 Wishing you all the best in the days ahead,

 Yours,
 Soma
