Virginia Tech NSBE provides a variety of programs that requires the help of all students. Volunteering is a crucial part of any sponsored program. Through our chapter by volunteering this year will be implementing a new system for keeping track of participation. Our executive board will keep track what we call firepoints, which our points given to individual members based on their willingness to contribute to anything that NSBE is involved in. In return for these firepoints our chapter will put sponsored money towards specifiic individuals for National Convention attendance in Las Vegas. So please take the time and take advantage of this wonderful opportunity and help out.The National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) with more than 30,000 members, is one of the largest student-managed organization in the country.
