APPENDIX FULL LISTING OF COMMENTS IN EACH RECURRING THEME
• As a graduate of a HBCU, I had the experience of having professors that looked like me and supported me. My experience in the school of engineering at Prairie View A&M University was a very positive and rewarding college journey. As I mentor and support students from predominantly majority schools, I have found that their experience is not as rewarding. They do not have professors that look like them or come from similar backgrounds or share if they succeed. NSBE offers students from majority based colleges an opportunity to meet professors, students, professionals, etc. that look like them and can relate and encourage them. This is why I would recommend the organization to my friends and colleagues because they need the reinforcing experience that NSBE offers. I try not to miss a convention or conference because I get rejuvenated to back into Corporate America after attending a NSBE event. • They have many connections and network opportunities to get you connect to people who can get you research opportunities and internships • I love my NSBE chapter. I have found a small family within a big campus and i’ve made a lot of connections that I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t apart of this society. • I love the black comradery and connections made through NSBE. Only not a 10 because the organization is not perfect, sometimes it’s too Bureaucratic. But overall, it’s amazing. • Networking, working with like minded people in different fields. • With NSBE I have found more than just an organization, but a family. I am very confident that without NSBE, I wouldn’t have found the career opportunities I have, nor would I still be an engineering student. NSBE means so much to me and I recommend joining to friends and colleagues quite often to hopefully share the benefits that I have found within this organization.
• NSBE provides great resources and contacts • I align myself with the NSBE mission and think that the camaraderie within this organization is extremely beneficial for black students within Engineering and STEM to network and feel comfortable. • I believe that it’s very important. Especially in this time when so much is at stake. • I would recommend my friend to join NSBE because of the amazing opportunities that come about being apart of this organization. Also, being apart of an organization committed to improving the student and the black community is something I believe every black person should experience. • NSBE offer great support and assistance • NSBE is a strong platform for career growth and fellowship of Blacks in STEM. It is also a great way to find volunteering opportunities to support your community. • The support and mentor opportunities • NSBE has provided so many opportunities and benefits to me including academic support, scholarships, networking, and friendships. I would want my friends and colleagues to have access to that as well. • NSBE is a great organization and a great way to meet other minority Engineers and STEM Professionals.
