The NSBE Retention Program

The NSBE Retention Program is one of NSBE's signature programs that aims to increase the retention rate of engineering students. This umbrella program has three main points of focus: Skill Development Workshops, Mentorship, and Study Halls. For more information and toolkits to help implement the retention program, see the following link: NSBE Retention Program Overview
