About Me:
My name is Deborah Dorcemus and I am the 2009-2010 Secretary of the Uconn NSBE. Chapter. While I’m in my second year of my biomedical engineering major, my long-term goal is to go to medical school and become an emergency department physician. This goal will allow me to devote my life to helping people, but my service will continue now, through NSBE.
Recent Experience(s):
In the summer going into my freshman year at Uconn I attended the five week BRIDGE program in which I learned things that would give me a head start come the fall. Then in the summer before my sophomore year I got a chance to give back to this very program and work as a tutor, helping students in the same place I was just in a year before. Also as a member of NSBE last year, I had a chance to hand deliver meals to families in East Hartford.
List at least one major aspect you like about NSBE:
One major aspect I love about NSBE is that you do not need to be black or an engineer to be a member of the National Society of Black Engineers; this organization serves as a place to belong for anyone and everyone.
What do you like best about of your current office position?
As The 2009- 2010 NSBE Secretary I get a chance to be the middleman between all communications. By being the middleman I’m in constant communication with both the other Eboard members and the regular members of NSBE, which allows me to do many things. One very important thing that this allows me to do is to make sure the every single member has a voice in our chapter, and being secretary also allows me to make sure that these members voices are being heard through efficient communication.
What message would you like to give new and existing members?
To all new and existing NSBE members I would like to tell them to get involved. If your interested in a certain program infuse yourself into it, you do not have to an officer or Eboard member to have a direct hand in what goes on in the chapter that you are apart of. If you have ideas, tell them; suggestions, make them: Let us know what YOUR NSBE looks like.
