EOE is supported by the Cockrell School, corporate partners, and grants from the federal and state governments. Your support and involvement help EOE make a significant contribution to increased diversity in the Cockrell School. You can support EOE as an Alumni Partner or Company Partner.
EOE celebrates another excellent year in which thousands of students participated in our programs and hundreds of volunteers and supporters helped make it all happen. Here are a few highlights from the 2009-10 academic year:
- EOE Recruitment Initiatives Touch More Than 1,220 Pre-College Students
In partnership with Pi Sigma Pi Minority Academic Engineering Society (Pi), the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE), EOE Recruitment Initiatives touched more than 1,220 students and provided more than 460 students with the opportunity to visit the university campus and learn about engineering. - EOE Academic and Leadership Initiatives Serve Current Students & Create Jobs on Campus
More than 800 students accepted the invitation to become part of EOE's exciting community focusing on academic success, professional development, and personal growth. More than 60 Engineering Peer Leaders were employed by EOE to serve as tutors, mentors, and research assistants on campus. In partnership with Pi, NSBE, and SHPE, EOE builds a community making it easy for engineering students to connect, form study groups, and develop friendships that last well after graduation. - Diversity at The University of Texas at Austin Receives National Recognition Throughout 2010
In June, Diverse Issues in Higher Education ranked the university fourth in the nation in producing undergraduate engineering degrees for underrepresented minority groups. - Friends of Alec Annual Giving Makes a Difference
This past year, more than $20,900 came in through the Friends of Alec Annual Giving Program to build the EOE Program Endowed Excellence Fund. Distributions from this fund are used to support scholarships, student development initiatives, and jobs on campus for our engineering students. Thank you to all alumni who generously gave to support EOE. We hope our supporters will make a gift this year and continue to support the EOE student community at the Cockrell School.
Remember, what starts here changes the world!
