Simone Wright

President

I am a Junior Studying Industrial Engineering with a computer science certificate. Currently I am serving as the President, and last year was the Academic Excellence Chair. A goal I have for this year is to provide a virtual community space for students of color in the College of Engineering by providing online social and professional development opportunities, in addition to academic support spaces.

Emmanuel Akpan

Outside of his work with NSBE-WBESS as the Vice President, he also serves as the Keeper of Records for the Beta Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Incorporated. Through NSBE-WBESS, he hopes to provide a support system on campus for engineering students of color, where they can flourish academically, professionally and socially. In his free time, he enjoys listening to music, volunteering and spending time with family and friends.

Naomi Lewis

Hi, Naomi here! I am the Treasurer and Academic Excellence Chair for the 2020-2021 year! I'm super excited to be on the E-board and get more involved with NSBE this year. Some things I like to do outside of NSBE would be power lifting, hanging out with my friends and I like going home to visit my family. I can't wait to see what NSBE has in store for us this year!
