7 University Daily Kansan / Friday. March 6, 1987 Minority engineers hear lectures at seminar By TIM HAMILTON Staff writer Minority engineering students from Kansas and Kansas State universities had their second annual summer early this week in Manhattan More than 250 KU, K-State and high school students heard a variety of lecturers on topics ranging from how to write a resume and be interviewed to majority-minority relationships on the job. The 70 high school students were from the 13 schools of the Mid-America Consortium for Science and Engineering Achievement, a pre-collegiate program for juniors and seniors, which is sponsored by KU. Florence Boldridge, director of the KU's minority engineering program, SCoRMEBE, said the symposium was a good opportunity for the students of both universities as well as high school students. Karen Hummel, director of the minority engineer program at K-State, said the symposium was a cooperative effort. "It is enriching for both universities and for students to get to know each other." Hummel said. "Most universities have minority programs, and more and more of them are working together." The symposium was financed through fees from participating corporate members. On the first day of the symposium, students met with sponsors' representatives to get acquainted and exchange information. "I'm sure a number of students will get summer jobs or permanent employment out of the information exchange." Hummel said. Antoine Lawrence, East St. Louis, Ill., senior, said he talked about the corporate world with many represent- ers and passed out several resumes Over the two-day period, students heard different representatives lecture on the opportunities of women in entrepreneurship and management and entrepreneurship. "The opportunities are great for women in corporate America, especially if you have a degree." Boldridge said. Mark Tucker, Wichita junior, said Finnell stressed the importance of organizations such as SCOFMEBE's high school support group. Finnell said high school students needed hands-on models in mathematics and the sciences. Robert Finnell, former president of the National Action Council for Minority Engineers, NACME, spoke on the evolution of the minority engineer movement and the involvement of the council. Harold Adams, director of the National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering, spoke to students about the value of graduate school. "A master's degree definitely gives you that extra edge," Hummel said. Marshall Jackson, assistant director of admissions at KU, and Diane Lindeman, KU assistant director of financial aid, also spoke to students. "They gave an overview of what it is like coming through the process of admission and applying for financial aid." Boldridge said. You!! Wanna Make 100 Bucks?
