Proceedings of the National Society of Black Physicists 1998 Annual Meeting Held in University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky on March 4-8, 1998
Abstract
The 1998 National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) Annual Meeting was held jointly with the National Conference of Black Physics Students (NCBPS). The two groups and approximately 75 high school students interested in science (from several regions in Kentucky) were in attendance for one joint session. Members of the NSBP and invited distinguished physicists presented scientific papers of current research, sharing cutting edge research with their colleagues in the minority community. Several NSBP members also led sessions for the NCBPS in such topics as "Frontiers in Physics", "How to get into Graduate School", "Surviving Graduate School". All meals were shared by the two organizations, with speakers and discussion sessions. This NSBP meeting provided unique opportunities for mentoring and encouragement of minorities of all levels in physics. According to the American Institute of Physics survey (page 233. Table 3, Proceedings) of the student evaluation of performance of the 1998 joint conference in meeting goals, 92% rated "Networking with Black Professionals as excellent or good.
