Education Committee
Committees
The Education committee, led by Damilola Abe and Vice Chair Muhammet Cuneyt Sakonder. It aims to establish and develop contacts with US universities in areas of mutual interest. It plans to initiate seminars or events with significant educational content, update and revise career information in underwater technology for schools and universities, and engage young people in its activities, particularly those in higher education, through lectures, training, and career advice.
This committee has different student participation through Student Chapters. We have Sapna Budhrani Student Chapter Chair at the University of Houston, Mary Zhao Student Chapter Chair at University of Texas at Austin, and David Emery Student Chapter Chair at Texas A&M University at College Station.
