Our Crowdfunding Groups
Halloween Costume Contest & Invitation from Corning
NSBE closed out the month of October with lots of Halloween fun! We dressed up in our favorite costumes and had a great time connecting with each other in a game of Halloween-themed Jeopardy.
In addition, NSBE has also been invited to visit Corning's local office in Charlotte, NC, in the upcoming weeks for a meeting with the NSBE Charlotte Professionals chapter. On our visit, we will hear more about available career opportunities and learn from industry professionals. We are eager to attend this event and very thankful to the Charlotte Professionals and Corning for the invitation.
Lastly, NSBE has begun planning for our National Conference in Chicago, IL. We are excited to soon create many connections with employers and take advantage of the resources geared towards starting our professional careers.
Thank you to those who have contributed to our crowdfunding goal of reaching well over 100% percent! Your support has been phenomenal and much appreciated. With less than twelve hours until the end of our crowdfunding phase, let's see if we can reach 150% of our goal!

Financial Literacy & BEAM Community Outreach
NSBE has been busy this month. We focused on financial literacy thanks to a representative from Corning who came to speak to our group about budgeting and other personal finance topics.
NSBE has also been active in the community during Black Energy Awareness Month (BEAM). We participated in BEAM events in the EPIC building on campus that were put together by the American Association of Blacks in Energy. Our group got in front of over 250 middle and high school students who were in attendance for this event.
Thank you for those who have generously supported NSBE! Our team is 96% to our crowdfunding goal with 11 days remaining in our campaign.
