Manhattan University, Gamma Alpha Chapter

Founded in 1950, the Gamma Alpha Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu at Manhattan University has been a proud part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering community for over seven decades. While small in size with approximately 18 active members, our chapter makes a significant impact on campus and in the greater community. Each semester, we induct around eight new members, selected for their academic excellence, leadership, and dedication to service.

Our members provide free tutoring not only for EECE students, but also for peers in mathematics and science courses such as calculus, differential equations, physics, and chemistry. We run a mentorship program that pairs experienced members with underclassmen to offer academic guidance, career advice, and support in navigating the challenges of engineering coursework.

Community outreach is central to our mission. We engage local high school students through hands-on coding workshops, circuit wiring activities, and other interactive STEM experiences that blend education with fun. On campus, we collaborate with other student organizations to expand our reach, co-host events, and strengthen the engineering community.

To support our initiatives, we host multiple fundraisers throughout the year, most notably our popular bake sales. At our events, we celebrate member achievements with lighthearted awards that recognize both academic and personal milestones.
