Testimonials from our Alumni

Since 1996, various students have passed through the IEEE UMinho SB. These former students make up the Alumni network, which continues to establish contact with the SB permanently. We are grateful for their work, dedication, and ongoing support.

Andreia Oliveira

Chair, 2024 – 2025

“My time at IEEE was the most valuable and enriching experience of my academic path. The people I met and challenges that appeared along the way
provided me with personal growth I never anticipated when I first joined.

Each part of my journey taught me new lessons and allowed me to develop further. I learned how to communicate better, not to give up in the face of a challenge, how to be a leader, have more confidence in myself and many other skills such as adaptability, team-work, problem-solving etc.

I am certain I will carry for life everything I experienced and learned at IEEE and with the amazing people I had the pleasure to meet and work with.”

Daniel Mendes

Chair, 2022 – 2023

“Being part of the IEEE UMinho SB was, without a doubt, the most defining experience of my academic journey. Over five incredible years, I had the chance to explore every corner of the organization, from publicity member to Chair.

Back then, I already valued what IEEE stood for. But only now, as I navigate the professional world, do I realize how deeply SB shaped me, not just as a student, but as a person, a teammate, a friend, and a professional. It taught me how to lead, how to listen, how to adapt, and most importantly, how to grow.

The people I met, the challenges we faced together, and the memories we created are more than just milestones, they are part of who I am. And I carry them with me, every day!”

Marta Rodrigues

Chair, 2023 – 2024

“My journey at IEEE UMinho Student Branch was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It provided me not only with valuable knowledge but also with lasting friendships. I had the chance to develop important skills and lead several teams, and the lessons I learnt from these experiences continue to shape both my professional work and my daily life. Moreover, I had the opportunity to meet IEEE members from across the country and even beyond its borders. Overall, it is a remarkable community where you can learn a great deal from the diverse backgrounds of its members and have plenty of fun along the way.”
