The
BEEP, sponsored by the National
Urban League, is a program
to help African American college
students excel. BEEP sponsors
business men and women from
corporations and government
agencies to lecture at Historically
Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs). The lectures are centered
on such issues as leadership,
communication, and management.The
BEEP-ECSU campus visit was
coordinated by Mrs. Roberta
Shaw, Internship Coordinator
at ECSU.
The
Environmental Entrepreneurship
Program (EEP) provides funding
to attract under represented
students to pursue higher academic
study and entrepreneurship prospects
in the NOAA-related sciences.
The program aids joint ventures
between Minority Serving Institutions
(MSIs), NOAA, and the Department
of Commerce. Associations are
formed with academic, research,
government, and non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) aimed at
preparing students with the necessary
knowledge, skills, tools, and
technology to promote environmentally
sustainable and economically
feasible local communities. |
On
November 3, 2005, the NOAA
Environmental Entrepreneurship
Program (EEP) and the Walter
R. Davis School of Business
and Economics co-sponsored
a guest speaker for ECSU business
and research students. Mr.
Vincent Meeks, of the United
Parcel Service (UPS) was the
guest speaker for this event.
This event was part of the
Black Executive Exchange Programs
(BEEP) two day visit to Elizabeth
City State University.
