NAMEPA Partnership Opportunities

Our network of institutional, corporate, and institutional members is growing!  We are expecting 100 institutions and other NAMEPA stakeholders to be represented at the upcoming NAMEPA National Conference.

Corporate and Organization Partnership opportunities are now open. We welcome you to join.  At this conference, Corporate Partners will have an opportunity to develop engagement strategies and coach premier engineering students from underrepresented minority populations at the host institution.

Engineering and STEM Organizations, non-profits, and governmental agencies that support student access and success in engineering and STEM fields are welcome to become members of NAMEPA! These partnerships will build stronger collaborative efforts that promote broadening the participation of underrepresented minority students in STEM.

We welcome each of you to renew your membership! Membership level descriptions can be found on our website
