By Zandra Zweber and danny Herres, University of Connecticut Peter d. Bachiochi, Ph.d., eastern Connecticut state University t’s safe to say that you can’t stay connected today without being online. We live in a world that revolves around the Internet, social media and other online communication. When e-mail was introduced, it changed the way people communicate by providing a quick and easy form of communication. Instead of having to pick up a phone and call someone, sending an e-mail message became the common method of communication. In fact, NSBE members responded to our survey this year saying that their preferred method of contact from potential employers is e-mail. 2012 ‘NSBE 50’ The Boeing Company (+) apple google gE Exxon Mobil corporation chevron corporation NaSa Lockheed Martin corporation Microsoft corporation BP (+) Shell intel corporation BMW iBM corporation procter & gamble Disney (+) Schlumberger 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. u.S. department of defense (+) Johnson & Johnson Central Intelligence Agency (+) Cummins Inc.
