This award supports the participation of 52 undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral students at the 44nd Annual National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE) Conference, held Oct. 30 - Nov. 3, 2017 in Minneapolis, MN. Selected participants are from underrepresented minority groups in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. This award provides opportunities for participants to engage in four major areas of focus: 1) technical and professional development; 2) networking and mentorship opportunities with professionals working in STEM fields; 3) exposure to high-profile minority role models in STEM; and 4) academic and professional STEM career advancement opportunities. Student participants interact with peers and professionals from industry, government, and academia to develop collaborations and to explore opportunities to pursue graduate degrees in the chemistry or chemical engineering disciplines. These opportunities may not only impact these specific participating individuals, but also benefit the larger community of STEM field practitioners as these activities are useful in recruiting and retaining individuals from underrepresented talent pools. NOBCChE seeks to increase the number of minorities in the STEM workforce, particularly those in the chemistry or chemical engineering fields.

该奖项支持52名本科生，研究生和博士后学生参加第44届全国黑人化学家和化学工程师专业进步组织（NOBCChE）会议，于2017年10月30日至11月3日在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯举行。选定的参与者来自科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）领域代表性不足的少数群体。该奖项为参与者提供了参与四大重点领域的机会：1）技术和专业发展; 2）与STEM领域的专业人士建立联系和指导机会; 3）接触STEM中备受瞩目的少数民族榜样; 4）学术和专业STEM职业发展机会。学生参与者与同行和来自工业，政府和学术界的专业人士互动，以发展合作，并探索在化学或化学工程学科攻读研究生学位的机会。这些机会不仅会影响这些特定的参与者，而且还会使更大的STEM领域从业者社区受益，因为这些活动有助于从代表性不足的人才库中招募和留住个人。NOBCChE旨在增加STEM劳动力中少数民族的数量，特别是化学或化学工程领域的少数民族。
