President's Message
November is here! The colors of fall have started showing up, a cool evening here and there, and pumpkin-flavored just about everything! While everyone is still struggling with challenges we face, our Section seems to be resilient and we continue to find ways to bring out the very best to our members.
While a bit later than we traditionally hold the presentation, we have nonetheless carried on and honored three outstanding, recently graduated students with the 2020 IESNYC Thesis Awards. On October 28th, the recipients presented their theses to a virtual audience of lighting professionals. The diversity in subject matter, the passionate examination, and the commanding understanding of each of their topics is truly inspiring! More >
