NATIONAL SOCIETY
OF BLACK ENGINEERS EMU CHAPTER HISTORY |
Mr. Randall C. Woodard, already a member of N.S.B.E. and regular
attendee of the neighboring University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
chapter meetings, with clear purposes in mind set out to establish a
chapter of N.S.B.E. at Eastern Michigan University. The Eastern
Michigan University (EMU) Chapter of the National Society of Black
Engineers (N.S.B.E.) was chartered by the national organization in
October of 2000 with fourteen (14) charter members, five (5) of
which held executive board positions.
The struggle was finding a way to get students involved with an
organization in which they never heard nor seen before on campus.
Members did everything within their power to promote N.S.B.E. to
technical and non-technical EMU students. Another challenge facing
the chapter at this time was the lack of recognition status by EMU
as a student organization on campus. Even when the chapter was
recognized by Campus Life as a student organization in January of
the Winter 2001 semester, struggles remained as members continued to
familiarize themselves with N.S.B.E. while learning how to take
advantage of all the resources now available to the chapter on
campus.
Subsequently, it was hard to promote the organization and
increase membership considerably during the charter year of the
chapter. Publicizing of events, meetings, fundraisers and
conferences was done primarily by word of mouth. Members would print
flyers at their jobs whenever possible in order to cut costs and
allow for the dissemination of N.S.B.E. information in a timely
fashion. Meetings were held in dorm rooms, while Resident Advisors
played an important role in promoting the organization to freshmen,
sophomore and other students on campus.
There were fourteen original chapter charter members who paved
the way for the establishment of the EMU Chapter of the National
Society of Black Engineers during the 2000 - 2001 Academic Year. Out
of the fourteen chapter founders, ten (10) were financial with the
national organization:
