The Southeast Michigan LMAG celebrated IEEE Day on 11 October 2025 in conjunction with a Group Mentorship Event sponsored by Jim Reiss, IEEE Region 4 LMAG Coordinator. The celebration was opened by Sharan Kalwani, IEEE Section Chair.
There were three group mentorship talks:
- Sanjay Dhall of Emergent Systems described the status of Flying Cars, which are reaching the final stage of development at his company.
- Dr. Atul Prakash, Chair of EECS at the University of Michigan, encouraged students to be highly successful in their future careers, citing his own success stories moving from a student to chair of one of the biggest EECS departments in the world.
- Dr. Ece Yaprak encouraged students to pursue promising careers in engineering, drawing on her experiences with NSF and ABET.
The group was entertained by Davinder Kaur, who sang a party song prior to cutting the cake brought by Mohamad Berri. The event was enjoyed by 45 participants, including 12 students.
