Building the Future Today: Full STEM Ahead!


O


ver lunch one day in the summer of ’84, Dr. Eugene DeLoatch shared his idea with me about increasing diversity in


engineering. Dr. DeLoatch had recently taken up his new job as the founding dean of the Clarence Mitchell School of Engineering at Morgan State University. Prior to beginning his service at Morgan in 1984, Dr. DeLoatch spent 24 years with Howard in Washington, DC, as chair and professor of the Department of Electrical Engineering. Two years after that lunchtime chat with Dr. DeLoatch, my company, Career Communications Group (CCG)—which was founded in 1985 with a unique mission to promote achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers—held the first BEYA Conference in Baltimore with Morgan State as a sponsor. Since then, CCG has worked with leaders like Dr. DeLoatch from a range of institutions, businesses, and the government. As a media company, we are proud to align with leaders who inspire and promote excellence in our youth, by telling their stories as well as those of unheralded people striving for success. CCG partnerships with historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) establish our media products as the authority for STEM students, professionals, and executives seeking to advance already successful careers. On behalf of the CCG family in Baltimore and our extended family across


America, we congratulate Dr. DeLoatch on his nomination as 2017 Black Engineer of the Year for “breaking through barriers, expanding possibility, and shaping a future for generations to come.” We also extend felicitations to all BEYA winners who have joined CCG’s mission to maintain America’s leadership in engineering and technology.
