"The Detroit Area Pre College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) offers out of school time programming to help Detroit Area Students develop the motivation and awareness of skills necessary for academic achievement and successful careers in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics fields. We were honored to have Dr. Bellandra Foster serve as the keynote speaker for our Spring Open House and Program Registration event, held February 6, 2010 at COBO Exhibition Hall. Dr. Foster’s presentation and words were very inspiring for our parents and students population. Her connection between engineering and athletics was warmly received by our audience. As an educational organization, DAPCEP was delighted to hear Dr. Foster describe the role of the parent in supporting their children academically, in addition to her outline of the mental preparation needed for college bound students. Our audience truly enjoyed her speech and visual presentation. April Johnson, a high school junior, shared, “Wow! She was awesome! It’s great to know that there are women out there with their own businesses in the fields of engineering. I want to be a trailblazer like her.” Many of the parents of our female students were excited to see an African American woman as a speaker. “Dr. Foster is an excellent example of success and it is very refreshing to see someone from our local community succeed. She not only has a Masters, but a Ph.D. AND her own firm! She is sharp! “, said a parent of three children, all of whom attend DAPCEP programs. Dr. Bellandra Foster shared an informational speech that motivated both the parents and students in our audience. We are very pleased that she was able to participate in our open house and recommend her for future speaking engagements."
