Letter from the President

Dear Prospective Corporate Sponsor;
My name is Anna Haydock and I am currently the President for the National Society of Black Engineers
(NSBE). I am reaching out to you today about sponsoring members of the SD Mines NSBE chapter, and
the chapter itself. NSBEs mission is To increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers
who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community. This organization
has certainly done that for me. Being from Fresno, CA, I have seen a lot of pain, hurt, failures, and
stereotypes within my community. However, being a part of NSBE and attending the National
Convention, my life was changed. To see many successful individuals, driven and goal oriented like
myself, made me want to become an engineer even more, and change the world around me, as well as the
views on my community. So, with the help, support, and donation from your company, this life changing
experience can be given to many more members of the SD Mines NSBE chapter. With your assistance in
securing a level of financial sponsorship as outlined in the next page, we will continue to develop
ourselves professionally which will be illustrated in the remainder of the packet. We are forever thankful
for your assistance in completing our missionTo increase the number of culturally responsible black
engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.

Thank you again,

Anna Haydock
SDSMT-NSBE Chapter President

every semester

corporate supporters that represent and benefit all majors.

throughout your careers.

Events
General Body Meetings
At least once a week the general body and the officers
meet to discuss the current status of the local
chapter, our Region V, and national
organizations directives and programs. These
meetings are designed to engage the students in
the inner workings of the club and push them to
become something more than just a regular mines
student. Not only to attain a phenomenal
education but as well as add to the campus and
community that surround and support them.
Each meeting is attended by 25-30 students with 18
meetings scheduled for the academic year.

Kickoff BBQ
At the start of each academic year, we start off with a simple BBQ. This allows new members to interact
with officers and chapter members in a more social setting. We form new friendships and interest groups
through this event.

Community Service

Engineering the Future

This is a new outreach program which originated in
2012 from our very own region. The final goal of
this project is to get children in middle school and
High School engaged and interested in STEM
fields. A few chapter volunteers go out to schools
in the Rapid City area to do projects with kids.

The Penny War

New to the chapter, we introduced the Penny
Wars to the South Dakota School if Mines in
recognition of the UNs Universal Childrens Day on
November 22. All school organizations are welcome
to join and the winning organization is given the
opportunity to choose where the money that is raised
goes.
The SDSMT-NSBE chapter also organizes a clothes
drive at the end of the academic year. We also
participate in Operation Christmas Child and the
Martin Luther King Day of Service alongside other
campus organizations
