    <div class="html-content"><h5>Check Out Aissatou's Experience @ NSBE!   </h5>
    <p><strong>How long have you been a member of NSBE?</strong></p>
    <p>I've been with the UMBC chapter since I transferred in the fall of 2023. They have provided me with guidance, a mentor, opportunities to volunteer, and to be a part of a community that wants to see me succeed.</p>
    <p><img src="https://my3.my.umbc.edu/groups/inds/posts/158362/attachments/62903" alt="Aissatou in a button up collared shirt, smiling standing next to the big NSBE letters that have lights inside the letters" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p><strong>What opportunities did the NSBE convention provide?</strong></p>
    <p>I had an amazing opportunity to represent: UMBC and the Region. This convention went better than I expected. I went from 1 interview last year to 4 this year, with 2 job offers. I also had the opportunity to connect/ network with companies and multiple people from different schools. I went to multiple events, including the Golden Torch Awards, where I got to see people win awards for their accomplishments, plus schools, (a dress to impress event). </p>

    <p><strong>Any other comments about the conference you would like to share?</strong></p>
    <p>The event would forever leave a special place in my heart. In an environment with about 16,000 people, I stood out and walked proudly as an <a href="https://inds.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">INDS major</a>. I thank the INDS program for everything. It's a degree that got me through so many things and shows that it's ok to want something different in college. Passion will get you a long way. </p>
