Creative Writer, IEEE Dibrugarh University Student Branch

As a passionate Engineering student at Dibrugarh University Institute of Engg. & Technology, I eagerly joined the IEEE DU Student Branch, driven by the desire to immerse myself in the world of technology & innovation.

The joining days as a volunteer was tough as I was not aware of what to do? what task to perform? etc. etc. but with time I came to know more about IEEE and how a student can excel with the help of an organization like IEEE. I was able to learn the process and most importantly I learned how to work as a team. IEEE DU SB encouraged me to collaborate among other volunteers. I had the chance to work on exciting tasks with fellow volunteers, fostering teamwork and enhancing my problem-solving skills.

There were many events that were being organized during this period. One of the highlights of my volunteering experience was the opportunity to organize a technical workshop on Python Programming.

I was held responsible for coordinating/directing the event. From planning the agenda, assigning tasks to my fellow members, arranging guest speaker and ensuring all the necessary requirements. At first it was very challenging for me but gradually with time I learned and had a great experience.     I also had the opportunity to network with many professionals in the field of technology which will definitely expand my knowledge and career opportunities in the near future.

Overall, my experience as a volunteer of IEEE DU SB has been a valuable learning experience that will foster my knowledge and expertise in future.
