Sgt. Zonell Westfield, a recruiter from Recruiting Sub Station Murfreesboro, speaks to a college student at a career exploration event at the 40th annual National Society of Black Engineers Convention in Nashville, Tenn., March 27, 2014. The National Society of Black Engineers, founded in 1971, increased the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically and positively impact the community. This is the fourth year the Marine Corps has partnered with NSBE. The United States Marine Corps also recognizes this event as a valuable opportunity to foster positive relationships with members, share the Marine story, demonstrate enthusiasm for the Corps and reinforce the idea of the armed services as a viable career option within the African American Community. There are currently 21,000 African American men and women serving in the United States Marine Corps, making up approximately 10% of the force. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Stanley Cao)
