29 Advocate for the STEM philosophy
• As an engineer and STEM professional, NSBE has been an excellent vehicle to network and work with fellow STEM professionals but more importantly a fantastic mechanism to give back to my community and chosen profession. • Nsbe is an organization that I have Part of for over 305 years . I have been a member , chapter leader , regional and national leader as a student . I have been a professional leader and sponsor of the mission. And it’s programs . In that it is a organization that impact the community through education and mentor ship to youth and college students . It brings hope to the community through fellowship and family that we can grow as a community through NSBE . I constantly tell my peers if they have children and college students in and/or interested in STEM to connect with Nsbe either at the NSBE Jr , collegian and professional chapter . Everyone I refer as always said it has been beneficial ! • NSBE is such a great community to be a part of and it’s an inspiration to see so many PoC making strides in STEM. It serves as a foundation for aspiring STEM enthusiasts to excel in a variety of career fields and connects those same enthusiasts with a network of support at multiple levels throughout their lifespan. • NSBE is an easy to access outlet for minority STEM students. It has provided me with opportunities to learn and grow. • Good opportunity for a black person involved in STEM to connect with employers and make friends within a community. • I was new at my school and didn’t have many friends. After attending FRC, I knew so many more people with a variety of backgrounds that had STEM majors. These people have been essential to my academic success over this first year at a new school.
• 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 is a wonderful organisation that has helped so many students especially the minority in appreciating STEM. They prepare the students registered as NSBE Jr for standardized exams. These students receive college application information, how they get admitted and scholarships. They organize conferences for the students giving college student access to many companies where they get opportunities of good job offer. Lot of students get good mentor-ship. • Nsbe is the STEM Pipeline for African Americans who are passionate in STEM. I Have been a member since college. Truly it has been a part of life and allowed me to be connected as family to other like minded STEM students and Professionals. It is important that every one belong to NSBE . We are still young as a organization , but I feel we truly discern that NSBE is a member organization focused on its members and chapters ( community) . Granted we take on initiatives and goals , but I feel through our journey , that every I initiative or need is based on supporting and growing our members and community • NSBE’s goal is to help minorities strive for success in STEM. • Our NSBE Richmond Nubian Village Pre-Collegiate Chapter is the best. Some of the best STEM programs and opportunities for the students and parents are offered. The chapter shares a wealth of meaningful STEM information with both the students and parents. The chapter genuinely cares about the well-being of the students.
