These less advanced students are not “left behind”during class lectures, and this mathematical review strengthens their mathematics to help them infuture science and engineering courses.Additionally, several times during the semester the students in all sections have a large commonclass together (in an auditorium) for special topics such as invited speakers, career development,and resume writing.

Also, she noticed that the majority of professors at herHBCU were not African American and remembered how during her exit interview she wasencouraged to become “one of those faces that you want to see”. She says: “(…) I guess places I went during (my) college career, I kinda began to see some differences and understand some of the differences when I attended my first NSBE conference. And so, in attending NSBE, you kinda notice, like there are lots of African-American males here, a lot more males than there were females.
