Purdue Engineering, specifically the Minority Engineering Program, does an outstanding job of creating and building a community of black engineering students. I am proud to participate in this program by teaching the chemistry portion of the Academic Boot Camp and MITE summer programs. These programs provide URM and Black students with a jump start on their FYE curriculum and help them build a support network that continues when they arrive on campus."}">Purdue Engineering, specifically the Minority Engineering Program, does an outstanding job of creating and building a community of Black engineering students.
