Empowering Student Success: Ashley Idehen and the National Society of Black Engineers at the Annual Convention
Ashley Idehen, an environmental engineering graduate student in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering and National TORCH Chair for the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), recently attended the NSBE's Annual Convention along with the Texas Tech chapter. The convention provided attendees with the motivation, skills, and opportunities to succeed in their future engineering endeavors, including scholarships, development workshops, and leadership training.
During the convention, Ashley had the honor of hosting a civic technical hackathon event based on the Kansas City education system. The event challenged members to use their problem-solving skills to create technical solutions to the issue presented in the 2021 STATE OF BLACK KANSAS CITY Report.
As a not-for-profit organization founded in 1975, NSBE is dedicated to promoting and supporting globally diverse technical talent. With over 35,000 members and more than 300 chapters in the U.S. and abroad, NSBE's mission is to foster the academic and professional success of Black engineering students and professionals worldwide.
The CECE Department is proud of Ashley's participation in the NSBE Annual Convention and her leadership in organizing the civic technical hackathon event that exemplifies NSBE's commitment to empowering and supporting Black engineering students and professionals.
