Message From Your Chair Message From Your Chair

"It was only a number of years ago that I was considering dropping out of college because of poor grades. Sometimes I think back. What if I never joined NSBE? What if I didn’t have mentors to push me? What if I gave up? It’s simple; I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be a college graduate nearing the completion of my second degree. I wouldn’t be in the Operations Leadership Program at UTC. I wouldn’t be National Chair of the National Society of Black Engineers. I wouldn’t be the “Cal” that members are now proud to call “Chairman”. "

Dr. Carl Mack Appointed to Board of Trustees


 
 

On February 11, 2011, our Executive Director, Dr. Carl Mack, was officially voted onto the Board of Trustees for Clarkson University. Inspired by the success of the Clarkson NSBE Chapter's efforts in engineering retention, the university bestowed an honorary doctorate degree on "Brother E.D." in May of 2010. His recent placement on the board is the culmination of a renewed university focus on the recruitment of more Blacks to Clarkson. Upon being charged with the task of helping bring more students of color to the university, Dr. Mack had this to say: "Be careful what you ask. If you are serious, we'll turn Clarkson into an HBCU!" 

Dr. Mack's appointment to the Board of Trustees is a great opportunity, and is indicative of the tremendous impact the Clarkson NSBE chapter has had on the university. It is certain that greater things are in store there, both for the chapter and for the university as a whole. In the words of National Chairman Calvin Phelps, "Carl's appointment to the Clarkson Board of Trustees illustrates the tremendous power and potential in each of our chapters. This event began two years ago with the commitment of the Clarkson chapter to excellence, a commitment that continues to this day. I have no doubt this partnership, started through the efforts of a few dedicated members, will result in many more young lives being touched by this university and this organization."
