Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Troy Henry (BS Electrical Engineering, AB African and African American Studies, 1982) describes how he was inspired to come to Stanford after attending Black Recruitment and Orientation Committee (BROC) weekend and outlines his involvement in the Black engineering experience. He recounts being active in Society of Black Scientists and Engineers (SBSE), late becoming president, and even creating his own class entitled Black Perspectives in Engineering that students could take for credit. He shares stories of participating in the HBCU exchange program at Howard University, visiting speakers such as Gil Scott-Heron, and organizing a rally to help the push for Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday to become a national holiday.
