Welcome

The Electrical Engineering Graduate Student Association is a service and social organization at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley.

We assist with new graduate student orientation, organize prelim review sessions, provide peer advising services, and sponsor social events year-round.

Congratulations to Matthew Spencer, recipient of EEGSA’s Someone Special Award for April 2012!

Matt was nominated for his effectiveness and willingness to help as a GSI, in addition to his great sense of humor and positive attitude. Matt’s research focus is circuits, specifically “making computing systems out of alternative device technology.” He seeks to “use tiny mechanical switches to replace CMOS transistors in hopes of demonstrating lower power computers.” Matt has been an active member of the EECS community, currently serving as EEGSA Industrial Liaison and directing the department’s graduate student outreach program. In his free time, he also enjoys singing and doing martial arts.

The EEGSA Someone Special Award recognizes students, staff, and faculty members who bring something special to the Berkeley electrical engineering community. Any member of the EECS community is invited to nominate individuals for the award. For more information, please contact the EEGSA Social Committee (email).

Please join us in congratulating Matt,

EEGSA Someone Special Award

Do you know someone who brings something special to the EE graduate community? Someone who goes the extra mile? Someone who has a special talent that often goes unrecognized? Someone who has given their time to help others in the larger NorCal community?

If so, nominate him or her for EEGSA’s “Someone Special Award!” All you need to do is write a few sentences about why you think your nominee deserves this recognition. Every month, the EEGSA will recognize one member of the EE Department. Students, staff, and faculty are all eligible nominees/nominators.

Nominations for the month of February are open through 2/10/2012, 11:59:59pm. The nomination form is available here.
