————————
Coming from his hometowns of Brooklyn and Queens, New York, to the world-renowned graduate program in electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in the mid-1980s, Kevin Kornegay felt pleased about having earned a great educational opportunity. He also felt very much alone.
“When I arrived at graduate school, at Berkeley, they had a massive community graduate student office space with maybe a few hundred students from around the world. I walked into the room. I looked left. I looked right, looking for someone who looked like me, and there were very few of us,” he recalls. “You could count (the Black students) on one hand. So I wanted to change that.”
This model works: peer mentoring, industrial internships, industrial mentors…. We shape and form the students at every stage. We get NSA, Johns Hopkins and NIST as employers. The students get $160K a year as starting Ph.D.s.
