Daniel D. Hoolihan
IEEE Senior Member
“Engineers and technologists have insight into both the how and why of the way the modern world works. This understanding is largely wasted if it’s to merely satisfy curiosity – we must put that perspective in service to a sustainable future. Philanthropy can be an important part of exercising that responsibility.”
Christopher Geiger
IEEE Foundation Director
“You start out thinking that you’re giving, but the people you meet, the things you learn, and what you get back are incredible.”
