About Groove Phi Groove

The Engineers have a vision. "I've seen it," as Dave McGill always says. We would like to have a strong presence in our communities for the general purpose of providing effective resources to these communities. We would like to see minority students of all levels excelling academically. We want to see all elementary school children empowered with a keen sense of pride. We want enhanced economic viability of members of the Black community. We would like to remain proactive in the political and social arena, effectively addressing ills of our communities such as drugs, gang violence, mis/non-education, and poverty. These are only a few of the many things we see and would like to provide for our communities.
