About Us | Bama NSBE

WHO WE ARE

Greetings,

On behalf of our executive board, I would like to welcome you to our organization's website. Here you will find information on who we are, what we do and how you can be apart of our mission.

For the past 44 years, the Mission of NSBE has been to increase the number of culturally responsible Black Engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact the community. Since our chapter’s inception, we have aimed to do just that, and this year is no exception. Our goal for the year is to Keep The Momentum!

Momentum is defined as the driving force of a development or course of events. Principally, a greater distance at which that driving force is applied amounts to an even greater outcome. It’s the distance that makes the difference in our destiny. Our “distance” consists of the prep work, meetings, study hall and volunteer opportunities that we host throughout the year. Each of these events aids in propelling our members to new heights.

Feel free to reach out to any of our executive board members with questions or concerns.

Stick with it, Stay with it, and always remain R3ADY!

We put on events for fun like CS Jeopardy and Mario Kart tournaments; bringing food always acceptable.

Local Hack Day

An awesome annual 12-hour hackathon that provides a good entry point for newcomers, and a time challenge for veterans.

Hackathon Travel Team

We're trying to get UA in the top 100 on the MLH leadership. We're planning on going to at least 2 hackathons during the semester.
