What Is NSBE
Founded in 1975. Rebuilt every fall at Duke.
NSBE National has connected Black engineering students to community and career since 1975. NSBE at Duke brings that mission to campus: academic community, mentorship from upperclassmen who've done the internship search before, study sessions before exams, and a direct pipeline to the corporate partners on the national NSBE partner wall. Whether you're new to campus or graduating this spring, this is your chapter.
