Passing the Torch | IES Handover & 2026 Address

As IES enters 2026, this video marks a moment of reflection, transition, and renewal.

Founded in April 2023 from a simple conversation between students, IES has grown into a national, student-led organization committed to equity in education, well-being, and civic responsibility. What began as an idea has become a community — shaped by chapters, leaders, and members who chose to act rather than wait.

In this video, Founding President Joseph Hahmmin Kang reflects on the journey of building IES and formally steps down from the presidency, continuing his role as Global Chair. He then passes leadership to Ryan Cha, who assumes office as the 3rd National President of IES and shares his vision for the organization moving forward.

This is not an ending, but a handover — a testament to continuity, trust, and the belief that students can lead with integrity and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
Here’s to 2026 — and the next chapter of IES.

Stand for equity.
