Point System
The point system was implemented to keep track of the accomplishments of NSBE members. These points allow us to reward members who have showed excellence in a variety of fields. Besides end of the semester awards and certificates, members with points can enjoy opportunities such as conventions, conferences, and other exclusive events. Because the spots are limited in these events, the point system ensures that active NSBE members will have priority access.
