The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), with more than 28,000 members, is one of the largest student-run organizations in the country. The Society is dedicated to the realization of a better tomorrow through the development of intensive programs for increasing the recruitment, retention, and successful graduation of minorities in engineering. NSBE is comprised of over 220 charted chapters located on college and university campuses throughout the United States. These chapters are geographically divided into 6 major regions. NSBE had its genesis at a National Conference planned and hosted by the Society of Black Engineers here at Purdue University in April of 1975. From this meeting of concerned students and educators, NSBE was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the State of Texas. NSBE also became recognized as a tax-exempt organization under Section 501 c.3 of the Internal Revenue Code.
