<li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Last spring, ten of our NSBE members joined thousands of aspiring and practicing engineers at the NSBE National Convention. During
 the event, they faced exciting challenges and found inspiration. Some of our members even received immediate job offers, with a few receiving multiple offers. Additionally, several secured internship opportunities. It's worth noting that all expenses, including
 registration, transportation, and lodging, were covered by the NSBE endowed fund and the gift funds raised during last year's match challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Our "Passing the Torch Peer Mentorship Program" (PTPM) matches incoming black first-year and transfer students with accomplished upperclass
 students to facilitate a seamless transition into BCOE. Now in its fourth year and serving 20 mentees, PTPM acts as a stabilizing influence, where mentees evolve into mentors and future NSBE leaders in the following year. The program's success is made possible
 through mentor training, provisions, supplies, and gatherings, all of which are supported by the NSBE endowment and your generous contributions.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="color:black;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">NSBE UCR's K-12 Outreach takes immense pride in our award-winning efforts. We collaborate with various organizations such as the LA
 Black College Expo, churches, NAACP, and NSBE Jr. chapters with community-based STEM programs. We teamed up with local teachers at Palm Middle School to engage 50+ students in hands-on STEM activities in the past. This summer, in partnership with 100 Black
 Men of the Inland Empire, we established a Lego League team from Garvey Allen Academy, engaging in ongoing robotics activities on two Saturdays per month at UCR. This success has set us on the path to developing a comprehensive NSBE Jr. STEM pipeline program,
 bridging middle and high school to higher education.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
