Region IV News
Region IV is preparing for its fall Professional Development Conference (PDC)
November 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency hosted in beautiful Columbus, OH. The confer-
ence is expected to draw Alumni across the region with workshop tracks focused
on NSBE’s National Directives:
• Workshop Track 1: Increasing our Retention Rates
• Workshop Track 2: Improving our International Development
• Workshop Track 3: Expanding Our Scholastic Achievement
• Workshop Track 4: Seeking Economic Empowerment
These workshop tracks will provide a multitude of seminars, contributing valued added
skills worthy of attendance by Alumni. This year’s PDC has something to offer to Alumni at
any phase of their career such as: Executive Coaching (formerly Alumni Certification Workshop), An Innovative
Network in STEM Education Reform, Data Backup and Security Best Practices 101-5S, Therapy for Working
Women, From Engineering to Entrepreneurship and much more.
Also back, by popular demand, is the Business Etiquette Luncheon sponsored by Baxter. For those looking for a
career change or to further their education, the Career Fair and the Graduate School Fair are sure to be crowd
pleasers. Companies, such as Cargill, have career opportunities as far reaching as their business and are looking
for experienced engineers ready to take the challenge. On Saturday, the Alumni will also be recognizing and
welcoming new NSBE Alumnus at the Graduating Seniors Reception with guest speaker Dean Greg Washington.
In addition, the evenings will be filled with hospitality for relaxation and networking among Alumni and
corporate recruiters. On Sunday, the conference will end with the Alumni Breakfast, at which Alumni will be
recognized with awards for outstanding technical accomplishments and contributions to NSBE.
Are you ready 4 this? Region IV’s PDC is sure to make a global impact on the Alumni. See you in Columbus!!!
