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”. "

TORCH

Technical OutReach Community Help (TORCH) is NSBE’s community service initiative. We aim to use out technical backgrounds to positively impact the community and achieve the following objectives.

Objectives:

  • To provide science, engineering, technology and mathematics exposure opportunities within Black communities
  • To stimulate enthusiasm about science, engineering, technology and mathematics within Black communities
  • To provide introductory training to members of the community in modern technology, software and technical knowledge
  • Promote the value of science, engineering, technology and mathematics education at all levels
  • Encourage greater Black participation in science, engineering, technology and mathematics at all levels

Program Components:

TORCH is an umbrella program of NSBE which encompasses outreach activities that impact non-NSBE members and NSBE members alike, especially pre-college youth in Black community. Although increasing membership may be a result of these activities, TORCH programs seek to provide services ahead of promoting membership. TORCH programs are divided into the following branches:

TORCH Incentives:

Funding is available to chapters for TORCH projects.  The funding application proposal is submitted via IMPak in a process that mirrors that of the NPF process.  The Guidelines, detailed information about the Proposal and Review Forms, and a budget template  are available for download.  Interested chapters are encouraged to contact their regional TORCH rep or torch@nsbe.org early in their planning process to ensure a successful application.  Submit your proposal form today!

Chapters, regions and individuals are all eligible for cash awards based on their participation this year. Detailed criteria are available in the TORCH handbook.

More information about the data collection and reporting is available on the Program Evaluation & Data Collection Page.
