Dear Members and Friends of
the Purdue Chapter of NOBCChE,
|
 
|
NOBCChE is an organization
committed to the professional and educational growth of under-represented
minorities in the sciences. The purpose of the Purdue University NOBCChE
Chapter is to provide a support system which enables minority students to
improve their academic and professional performance in science and
chemical engineering. In turn, our chapter contributes to Purdue
University’s student
body and local community through serving as role models to students from
elementary to graduate school, and stimulating their interest in pursuing
both undergraduate and graduate degrees in scientific disciplines. One of
our primary objectives this year deeply involves retention. That is
retention of minority undergraduate as well as graduate students. Our
focus is helping undergraduates obtain B.S. degrees and to encourage them
to pursue graduate degrees. Likewise, we are assisting current graduate
students obtaining doctoral degrees. Other objectives for our chapter
includes (1) boosting member participation and undergraduate membership,
(2) assisting undergrads with coursework, and (3) continuing with
research round table discussions. Through the fulfilling of these
objectives/goals the Purdue NOBCChE chapter will be doing its’ part in the professional and
education growth of under-represented minorities in the sciences.
If you are interested or have
questions about the organization please send your correspondence to the
