Leachien Ricks - President
Greetings NSBE Family,
I am Leachien Ricks and I will be serving as your 2006-2007 Stony Brook University NSBE Chapter President.
Overseeing a chapter, being a Mechanical Engineering major and also involved in a plethora of other activities is
no easy task, but it is all worth it! This will be my third year as a member of this great organization and I have
gained a vast amount of knowledge and experience. I want you all to come and see for yourself what this organization
has to offer and therefore; I encourage you to become active members and challenge you to find another organization
to match the numerous opportunities provided.
Hello, my name is Kingsley Adeoye and I am a Computer Engineering major and Computer Science minor here at
Stony Brook University. I feel that the National Society of Black Engineers is doing a great job of showing
young students how to be great leaders of our future generation. Get involved and take advantage of the
openings being given to you and always remember that there are those who live without our options.

She is a senior studying Mechanical Engineering. Her academic achievements have allowed her to be inducted into
many honor societies, one of which is the Golden Key International Honour Society. As a freshman, she walked-on
to the Women's Basketball Team and earned a spot as a player. After she graduates, one of her goals (aside from
becoming a successful engineer) is to give back to her community and to serve as a role model to young women
studying in fields that are male-dominant.

A senior pursuing the computer science field. This promising young man has an interest in web technologies and
follows up on anything related to web 2.0. Of course he does it with style through news feeds. He has other
interests though, particularly languages like Japanese and Chinese. His major contribution to NSBE so far is designing
and building this very site you're using. He's an open source advocate looking to work with web applications. What else?
He follows web standards and his favorite software currently is the Opera browser. Firefox
has nothing on it,
