Signal processing applications surround us and the technologies we interact with. And while signal processing is one of the most pervasive fields of engineering, it is also one of the least understood. In an effort to increase awareness about signal processing, SPS has been working on a series of videos to explain elemental signal processing technologies and applications.

Want your voice to be heard? The IEEE Signal Processing Magazine is launching a new section called "Community Voices," in which SPS members and the signal processing community are encouraged to share their thoughts on career perspectives, technical trends, and other topics of interest to our community. A selection of the responses will be published in an upcoming issue of the Signal Processing Magazine.

MGA would like to thank everyone for submitting their officer, meeting, and financial reports to IEEE in a timely manner. Following review of the reports, the rebates will be completed and distributed to eligible geographic units whose officer, financial, and meeting activity reporting was received complete and subsequently approved. As a reminder, the rebate is paid to the Section. The funds provided are intended for the support of not only the Section’s activities, but also the activities of its subunits, including Subsections, Chapters, affinity groups, and IEEE Student organizations.
