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”. "

Clarkson University President on Retention Program (Download)

Sign Up for our Retention Program today!  Or view other chapters who have already signed up on our Retention Map!

The goal of the NSBE Retention Program is to improve the graduation rates of Blacks in the field of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). This will be the umbrella for three different programmatic pieces designed for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors.

Freshmen: Increase the number of first-year prospective engineering students who successfully matriculate into a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) major for their sophomore year.

Sophomores: Increase interaction with faculty and staff, personal development and leadership opportunities, and career path development.

Juniors: Increase preparation for graduate school admissions and/or entry into the engineering industry, performance on the Graduate Record Examinations, and opportunities for volunteer, educational, and paid experiences in engineering.
 

Program Evaluation

A major component is ensuring that we can measure the successes that arise due to the program implementation. All program documentation requirements must be satisfied via the Chapter reports and via installments of the Institute for Chapter Development.
 

Eligibility

All members at every Chapter are able to utilize the resources available for execution of the NSBE Retention Program at their respective institutions. In order to qualify for any of the monetary awards, the member submitting a Chapter’s documentation must be paid and active. The Chapter submitting the documentation must also be listed as chartered and active in the online system for the current fiscal year for which the program will be implemented.
 

National Awards

$5,000 awarded to the most effective Chapter with regards to overall implementation, member involvement, and the measure of freshman retention at the Chapter’s Institution. Second prize and third prize will be awarded in the amount of $2,500 and $1,250 respectively. Chapters will be awarded based on the performance on the evaluation documentation. Applications for individual National Awards will be available beginning January 1st, 2011.
