22 Aligned with the organization’s mission
• NSBE is an organization that embodies the capabilities of minorities especially those at PWI’s. Being able to establish our presence and be known for the great work we do both in the classroom and community shows the efforts we will go to make our world more sustainable. • NSBE has made my college experience as amazing as it has been. They were my first friends grown family, my study buddies, my support system, my advisor and mentor, and my professional connoisseur. The mission of NSBE is something I live by and strive to achieve every day. I appreciate the professionalism, leadership, and open mindedness that NSBE has taught me and I hope everyone can have that same experience. • I feel a personal connection to the goal of NSBE and as a member, it is a duty to the community to recruit more people into the society. • The NSBE mission is the emobidment of suppprting a wide ranging demographic from K12 to Collegiate to Professionals within the STEM arena. There is no organization that endeavors to do what we have done with excellence and with impact since 1975 when this organization was birthed. Our founding fathers are not only pleased we have support at basically every major national university, but we have also extended our reach internationally as well. We provide a pipeline for students to begin to become exposed to and educated about STEM opportunities and how a STEM background can support their future life goals. Additionally, when you look at it holistically you will not find a STEM organization of STEM professionals who not only make an impact in industry but within their communities as well by paying it forward. I love NSBE. I support NSBE. I encourage those on every level to consider NSBE. • I love NSBE and everything it represents!!! I love the Conventions . • I think NSBE is a great organization to join and has an amazing mission! • I have been a member since college and I have seen the benefits.
• I believe in NSBE, our mission and our members and have for nearly 20 years as a member. Even when we aren’t at our best as an organization, I can think of no other open-access organization that does what we do for people’s lives. • I am an active member of multiple professional STEM organizations and associations. NSBE is the most organized and professional of these and everyone I have ever met or worked with in the organization has kept up the NSBE mission statement and ideals. • The NSBE mission and its strategic objectives cannot be understated. The organization has given voice to marginalized communities and is uniquely equipped to prepare and support the engineering endeavors of those who aspire to the profession. Given our history of neglect, it is vital that organizations such as NSBE continue to thrive and prosper with continual growth courtesy of the younger generation.For these reasons, among others, I am more than happy to recommend • The NSBE vision, mission, and objectives are personally important to me and for our organization to promote engineering to African-Americans k-12, undergraduate, and graduate students. • NSBE is an integral network of Engineers committed to advancing the promotion, success, and education of people underrepresented in STEM. The organization’s commitment to service, and provision of resources has been a major part of my educational career. I would recommend joining NSBE to individuals committed to the organization’s mission. NSBE as a powerful resource to Black Engineers. • Historically, NSBE has an unmatched track record. • I am one of the developers of the NSBE Alumni Extension, and the person that pioneered the proposal for Lifetime membership in NSBE. I fully believe in the organization, its mission, and the relationships and benefits that come from being a member.
