DALLAS, TX — The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) recently held a formal unveiling of the Mbroh Engineering Terrace. Located at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, the ribbon cutting event was the culmination of financial support and partnership since 2020, when Mbroh Engineering established the first endowed scholarship for the Diversity Scholars Program for UT Dallas.

Opening remarks by Dr. Stephanie Adams, Dean of the College of Computer Science and Engineering, applauded the continued partnership of Mbroh Engineering in support of UTD’s Diversity Scholars Program and the university’s National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) chapter. Additional guest speakers included Anthony Mbroh, PE, President of Mbroh Engineering; Dr. Yvette Pearson, Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and Brittany Huber, Senior Director for the Office of Development and Alumni Relations at UTD.

University leadership, Mbroh Engineering staff, client, colleagues, and students involved in the Diversity Scholars Program, and NSBE were also in attendance, as well as the first two recipients of the Mbroh Engineering Scholarship. Established in 2020, the scholarship will provide yearly scholarship support for high achieving students of diverse backgrounds who show significant financial need.

"During my college career, the diversity outreach program had a significant impact in shaping my journey into professional engineering," Mbroh said. "As a college student from the inner-city, NSBE, the National Society of Black Engineers, provided me with crucial guidance and financial resources that were pivotal for my success. As a result, I became a better and more diverse engineering student, and I knew I wanted to give back when I had the financial resources to do so. My hope is that by continuing multi-year annual support for NSBE on the UT Dallas campus, we will provide a consistent and reliable stream of additional resources to complement the university's top-notch education program."
