Mission
The mission of the National Society of Black
Engineers, is to increase the number of
culturally responsible black engineers, who excel
academically, succeed professionally, and
positively impact the community
Behind The Mission
• Every meeting must start and end with the NSBE
mission
• Why?
– Because we must always remember why we’re here and
what our overall aim is as an organization
– Anything planned or executed that is not in an effort to
support the mission should be stopped.
– The restatement of the mission keeps our focus on what is
important
• Everyone must stand when stating the mission
Ice Breaker
• "Birthright"
Separate the participants into four groups: youngest,
middle, oldest and only children. After they have
gathered, have each group write down some of the
disadvantages and advantages of their
particular birth order to share with the group.
For instance, the oldest children might say "I always got
stuck with babysitting my little siblings," but that, "I
was the first to get my own car."
