Meet the Executive Board

A Message from the President

IMG_0118.jpg

 Greetings GTSBE!​

My name is Asia Falkner, and I have the honor of serving as the 2026–2027 President of the Georgia Tech Society of Black Engineers (GTSBE). I’m a fifth-year Civil Engineering major with a minor in Architecture, driven by a passion for creativity and building community.

As an out-of-state student, GTSBE was the first organization that truly made Georgia Tech feel like home. Through the Freshman Leadership Component (LDR), where I served as Community Service Chair, I found purpose, family, and the foundation for my leadership journey. Since then, GTSBE has remained my anchor; connecting me to lifelong friends, meaningful service,

leadership development, and transformative professional opportunities.

 

Over the past four years, I’ve been blessed to contribute to and witness the impact of our chapter. From serving as TORCH Chair to Programs Chair, I’ve seen what’s possible when students are poured into, believed in, and given the tools to lead. Last year alone, we hosted over 160 events aimed at empowering the next generation of black engineers: technical workshops, service projects, general body meetings, and more.

Our theme this year is IMPACT:

Inspire Unity, Mobilize Resources, Partner for Progress, Amplify Access, Cultivate

Community, Transform the Future

IMPACT is a call to action. In a time when DEI is under attack, our mission is clearer than ever: to build and sustain a chapter that uplifts every member and drives real change in the classroom, workplace, and world.

Your partnership is the catalyst. With your continued support, we can expand our reach, strengthen our programs, and equip our members with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they deserve. You are not just investing in events; you are investing in people, purpose, and long-term IMPACT.

Thank you for walking with us on this journey. Let’s continue to make an IMPACT together.
