Hi IEEE Volunteers!

September is a great month, it marks the beginning of a new college year in Universities from all parts of Region 8 and to commemorate  the new year, IEEE R8SAC has been working in a new logo that will work as the brand of Student Activities across this region.

 

Without further due, welcome the new R8SAC logo:

Our goal was to create a easy recognisable jewel that marks all IEEE R8SAC actions, activities, programs a projects, so you can easily recognise it as our seal of quality and the proof of an hard working team, willing to work with all students, sharing IEEE mantra, “Advancing Technology for Humanity”

We sincerely hope you like it, this marks the first of many new things coming this year for you.

 

All IEEE R8SAC wishes you the best for this academic year!
