Student Activities
Lars Olof Matsson
Student Activities Chair
The Student Activities Chair leads and coordinates student-focused activities within ASHRAE. This includes recruiting students and overseeing the student activities committee.
The student activities committee (SAC) acts as a Act as liaison between the chapter and area educational institutions. They develop and coordinate awards, scholarships and other student incentives and encourage the formation and continuing operation of student engineering organizations such as ASHRAE Student Branches.
SAC can be involved in recruiting new student members, provide information on present and future industry needs at both faculty and student levels, by means of counseling, programs, group discussion, etc.
The SAC can promote credit courses in the fields of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating at universities, technical institutes and other secondary education institutions.
SAC can provide speakers to secondary education and high school groups and can even provide individual counseling to promote HVAC&R fields of interest to students.
