The Membership Board is delighted to announce the approved proposals for the 2014 Summer Schools under the Seasonal Schools in Signal Processing (S3P) Program in the IEEE Signal Processing Society (SPS). This program was established in 2010 as an outcome of the SPS Long Range Planning Retreat held during ICIP 2010 in Hong Kong. S3P seasonal schools are typically either Summer schools or Winter schools, and are geared towards providing graduate students, early stage researchers, and practitioners with background on selected topics in signal processing.

Do you know someone, living or deceased, who has made one or more major contribution(s) to IEEE Technical Activities? Now is your chance to nominate him or her for the Technical Activities Board Hall of Honor.

Nominees will be considered based on their contributions to the creation, development, or advancement of the technical objectives of IEEE.

The final 2014 recipient(s) will be determined by the IEEE Technical Activities Board at the November 2014 meeting. The nomination deadline has been extended to 4 August 2014.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University is seeking teaching support, including a full-time lecturer. Successful candidates will at a minimum have an earned Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering and teaching experience at an ABET accredited university or significant industry experience.

The task of nominating a Senior Member for Fellow grade got easier with the new Fellow On-line System.
