As the chair of the campus NSBE Pre-Collegiate Initiative (PCI), she is helping to advance Game Change 25, a national strategy to increase the pool of Black engineers. Norman, a computer science major and an NSBE member, entered the blockchain/web3/NFT space recently and describes how Black Americans are already making waves with these new technologies. Driver is a business major at Marshall. He’s a “veteran” in the NFT space, with some early success leveraging the unique non-fungibles.
