 Students are the foundation of any technical organization, and this is particularly true in the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society. Student members are a source of refreshed and renewed enthusiasm for our field. Student members supply new, transformative ideas that shape technical breakthroughs and discourse. Student members will eventually lead the society and continue its efforts to bring together researchers and practitioners throughout the world. For these reasons, UFFC-S is committed to attracting and fostering new student members and helping them to become new technical leaders in the fields of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control.
