NSBE Jr. Kick Off Meeting – Today September 19th The Northwest Arkansas Provisional Chapter, in conjunction with the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), is forming a Pre-College Initiative (PCI) Junior chapter here in Northwest Arkansas. The purpose of this group is to cultivate an interest in pursuing careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for African-American youth currently in grades 6-12. This group will be led by various undergraduate students that are members of the NSBE undergraduate chapter at the University of Arkansas. Within this group, there will be three separate groups that will meet monthly based on grade assignment. These groups will be composed of middle school students (grades 5 and 6), junior high students (grades 7 and 8) and our Teen group for our high school students in grades 9-12. Each group will have one teacher/advisor that will work with the University of Arkansas NSBE undergraduate students to develop monthly projects, contests and competitions on various STEM related activities. Three members of the NSBE National headquarter staff will be here on Thursday, September 19 to kick off the creation of this group, distribute more information about the NSBE PCI initiative and answer questions posed from both students and parents. Annual membership is only $5. Membership is open to any African-American student in grades 6-12 that resides in Northwest Arkansas. Please come out and learn more about NSBE and the many benefits of membership. Our kickoff meeting will be held at Old High Middle School, 406 NW 2nd Street in Bentonville on Thursday, September 19 beginning at 6:30 P.M. Please contact Ms. Monet Davis at DavisMonet64@gmail or 630.818.5348 with any questions. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Warmest Regards, Monet C.
