The National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) is the largest and most recognizable organization devoted to the growth, development, and advancement of the African-American physics community.[x]
The University of Michigan Willie Hobbs Moore Chapter of NSBP is committed to supporting African-American academics and undeserved members of our surrounding community. We organize events focused on professional development, wellness, community building, and outreach.
NSBP - WHMC welcomes both undergraduate and graduate students. We look forward to working with you!
NSBP posts all of it's events to the Physics Social Calendar (which you can add to your google calendar here)
