Presented By: Industrial & Operations Engineering
BIndx Meeting featuring Guest Speaker Dr. Michael Johnson
This event is only open to U-M undergraduates. College of Engineering undergraduates, especially those in IOE, are encouraged to attend.
You are invited to attend the first BIndx meeting of the school year!
The Black Industrial Engineers (BIndx, pronounced BIND-ex) group is composed of IOE students and faculty who come together informally for meaningful conversation and fellowship to promote learning, mentoring, and networking. The BIndx program was initiated to promote a learning space where students feel comfortable engaging with faculty within our college and departments. BIndx meetings occur as monthly discussions to form relationships between faculty and minoritized students.
A BIndx check-in meeting will begin at 5:30pm. The meeting and discussion with Dr. Michael Johnson will begin at 6pm.
