Vice Chair

I’m a first year Electrical Engineering major at Mines. I enjoy reading, drawing, and crocheting in my free time. I’m interested in getting involved with the Electrical Engineering Department on Campus, and I’m really excited about growing IEEE here. I’m hoping to help with event planning as well as affiliation with the national IEEE. I’d love to work on sending some members to conferences.

Community Outreach Chair

Hi, I’m Aaron Siegle and I am a sophomore studying electrical engineering at Mines. I like IEEE because it helps get students in the door for companies to help set them up for their future! In my free time I like to hammock, play the guitar, and work out. In the future, I hope to grow IEEE into a place where we can connect every member with an internship or job.

Campus Outreach Chair

Hello! My name is Adelaide Yu. I’m a senior majoring in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in integrated circuits, computer engineering, and software systems. My hobbies include hanging out with friends, exploring new places, and video games. I am also involved with the Society of Women Engineers and the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers. I am really excited to be serving in a position with IEEE this year! I am looking forward to getting to know all the members of IEEE and helping to create a stronger community. The electrical engineering community is such a supportive group of people and I’m excited to be contributing to that this year.
