On behalf of the Math with EEEs, Inc. Board, thank you for attending the 2019 STEM Dinner!
This is the 50th year anniversary of the historic U.S. Moonwalk led by Astronaut Neil Armstrong. “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.” Recently, African-Americans have been recognized for their outstanding contributions to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math to the historic and successful leap for mankind.
Education is vital in order to compete in the 21stcentury global economy. There is a decrease in the number of students entering college to study Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math needed for today’s global economy. There is a need to inspire more students to aspire for academic excellence in the STEM fields.
The need for African-American students entering STEM fields is greater than ever! Not only do more African-American students need to be inspired to aspire, they need the opportunity to showcase their STEM brilliance. I believe this year’s scholarship recipients have the tenacity and leadership skills to be leaders in the 21stcentury NASA program as well as other areas of society. I believe the contributions of Katherine Coleman Goble, Guion Stewart Bluford Jr., Mae Jemison, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Ronald McNair can and will inspire students to reach for the moon! Thanks to your time, talent, and treasure, our community and the United States of America will continue to produce future STEM leaders.
Congratulations to scholarship recipients and their families: Justin Abram (University of Illinois – Champaign, Chemical &Biomolecular Engineering), Jordan Lawton (Morehouse College, Civil Engineering), Ventricle Bobo, (University of Illinois-Champaign, Agricultural Engineering),Denae Galloway, (Purdue University, Engineering),and Kaitlyn Johnson,(IndianaUniversity – Purdue University, Mechanical Engineering & Mathematics).
Thank you scholarship sponsors: MYSI, Barry Williams, Melody Birmingham-Byrd, Dr, Evonne Blakey, Toleda Hart. Thank you, Michael Selvie, Edward Jones Financial Advisor for sponsoring A.C.T. registration for 8 high school students and Charles Boyd, Legal Shield Executive Director for Sponsoring the Winter Break Chew & Chat Parent/Student College Workshop and four college entrance application fees.
Again, thanks to you, these recipients will have the opportunity to begin their collegiate journey, continue their journey, make an impact on society, and give back to their community! We look forward to the recipients and their families supporting next year’s scholarship recipients.
A special thank you to the Village of Glenwood, Glenwood Junior Woman’s Club, and Glenwood Lions Club for supporting our community and endeavor!
