"Outreach involvement is VERY important. When I was younger, I really didn't think about science as an option until I had a female science teacher in middle school and then an AWESOME chemistry teacher in high school…. some kids are not exposed to diversity in science and so can't identify with certain career fields."- Virginia (IUB NOBCChE President) **Email [email protected] and/or check out our website (www.indiana.edu/~nobcche/) to learn how you can be involved in outreach!

Whenever we have a minority student graduate, we celebrate. Why? According to NSF statistics from 2013, out of ALL PhDs received, ~15% are from minority individuals. Not surprising enough? Ok, lets give it another try and be a little more specific. Out of ALL Physical Science PhDs, ~29.3% are women (although women make up more than 50% of the workforce) and ~2.9% are Black or African American. Yesterday, our NOBCChE Vice President, Maissa M.
