Help Send the Black Engineers Society to National Convention in California

The National Society of Black Engineers is one of the largest student run organization. The mission of NSBE is to help increase the number of minority engineering and STEM majors that graduate by helping them grow professionally, personally and academically by providing the support system needed to excel in the engineering field, especially as an underrepresented minority. I have been a member of the University of Maryland Chapter of NSBE ( known as the Black Engineers Society) ever since my freshman year and I can truly say that my academic and professional achievements are largely thanks to what I have learned from NSBE,

Every year there is a NSBE National Convention where chapters across the country attend. It is an incredibly empowering experience to see that many young, minority STEM majors all in one place. This year the convention will be in California. In the past our chapter has always been able to take a lot of members to experience the wonderful opportunities that National Convention provides. However, this year we are in danger of not being able to take any members because the high cost of travel is a burden that our chapter finances just cannot meet.

In an effort to raise money we have created a fundraising site through the university.

 We have a goal to raise $9000. Every donation is appreciated and it is also tax deductible.
