Each year, Campus Representatives participate in ASEE’s Spread the Word membership promotion program. At the ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, we host a reception to honor Campus Representatives for their service and impact on member recruitment and engagement.
Awards are presented to Campus Representatives who recruit the highest number of new members and to those at institutions with the highest percentage of faculty who are ASEE members. This recognition is ASEE’s way of thanking Campus Representatives for their tireless work advancing engineering and engineering technology education.
