1 Access to a community of Black Engineers for networking and support • Great for mentorship, career opportunities, building a community of people with similar professional goals, and can experience multiple leadership roles. • It really is a great way to connect with people from the African Diaspora while in college. It gives you a place to fit in on campus, provides you with hope and joy and also gives you great business opportunities. It gives you a chance to give back to the community while also helping your community. • NSBE is the type of organization that helps you in your career, even more than it does in college. The networking is amazing and it give you leadership experience with professionals that is hard to come by on the job, especially early in your career • NSBE provides so many resources necessary for student success as well as a supportive community. • I’ll let anyone know provided they are down for the cause. • So that they can benefit from the professional and social networking available through NSBE. • Great organization, opportunities to meet talented individuals, great for networking, opportunities to gain long lasting friends. • In a career where there are not very many people of color represented, having a community of fellow black engineers is so valuable. I’ve enjoyed my time with NSBE and I continue to network and recruit. Everyone who has joined is happy to have our NSBE chapter as an outlet for events, community, and as an avenue for professional networking. • This is a wonderful family of people striving to promote black engineers in all stages of their careers and interests.
• NSBE has been one of my biggest support system throughout my college journey. I have made lifelong connections and family from NSBE that will last me a lifetime. I would gladly and without hesitation recommend this organization and my chapter to any and everyone in need. • I would recommend NSBE because of the familial feeling each member gets. You can always find someone who truly understands your situation as a black engineer and opportunities to take your leadership to a whole new level. Because of NSBE I have been able to expand my understanding and application of strategic planning processes and parliamentarian procedures. • Amazing family-feel organization with national recognition, has given me opportunities to become a better student, professional, and person. • NSBE is a way to connect with other students in a way that’s productive socially and academically. It puts students in the position to communicate with recruiters and know what they’re looking for. • How likely am I? For years I’ve been recommending NSBE to every parent and age appropriate child of color! Although I am not a member of NSBE, I have college friends who are members. My daughter participated in NSBE’s SEEK program (grades 3-5), and she is currently a member of NSBE, Jr. Our family loves our DMV NSBE, Jr. chapter as it offers a wealth of events, classes and opportunities to its members. Additionally, our chapter advisors are amazing! I would love to see every child of color become a member. • “I believe that NSBE is a great organization as it served me well in my undergraduate years. I’ve recently rekindled that passion in my professional years.
