Black History Month

Black History Month

Black History Month is an annual celebration of achievements and recognitions that shaped U.S. History. We, in Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources celebrate our individuals from WVU and abroad and their experiences and contributions. See below examples of our activities.

2025 Black History Month Events

In honor of Black History Month, WVU's National Society of Black Engineers hosted an Alumni Panel welcoming two incredible Statler College alumni who are shaping the future of engineering: Line-Audrey Nkule from Caterpillar Inc. and Bugzy Idowu from Tesla!

These remarkable Mountaineers shared invaluable advice on navigating the engineering field, overcoming challenges, and inspiring the next generation of engineers.

A special thanks to @nsbewvu for hosting this empowering session and supporting our students’ journeys to success!
