IPC COMMUNITY 104 WINTER 2025 platform—use it to advocate for innovation, diversity, and the future of our industry. To all students: Try your best to be on the board because serving on it has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It's more than just a title; being part of something big can shape the future of electronics manu- facturing. You can take on active, meaningful involvement by mak- ing an impact in this world. I am very proud, and I look forward to the future with respect to that industry and students to follow. I can't recommend enough to get involved, be a part of the IPC community, and start shaping your future today. A note from the director of the IPC Education Foundation It is truly an honor to recognize and reward the future talent that our industry so desperately needs. With a growing network of engaged students, the IPC Education Foundation continues to inspire, educate, and prepare the next generation of skilled profession- als in electronics manufacturing and engineering. We extend our heartfelt thanks to student leaders like Waad and the others who have served before her. Their dedication to excellence, their commitment to being the voice of their peers, and their role as outstanding ambassadors for both IPC and the Foundation are invaluable. These student leaders not only repre- sent the future of our industry but also inspire their fellow stu- dents to strive for greatness. Thank you for your ongoing contributions to our mission of developing the next generation of professionals who will drive the future of electronics manu- facturing. Charlene Gunter du Plessis
