History
The Pre-College Program Committee (PPC) of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) was initated in June 2005 with the joint efforts of Dr. Paul Guèye (Physics Department, Hampton University), Dr. Aisha Fields (Physics Department, Alabama A&M University) and Ms. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein (Physics Department, University of California, Santa Cruz). In 2007, Dr. Teri Robinson (Jackson State University) and Samiyah Farid (Alabama A&M University) were added to the team.

Goals
The Pre-College Program Committee of the National Society of Black Physicists was created to foster the education, knowledge and provide opportunities in physics education to pre-college students, in particular the African-American community.

Symbol
PPC symbol, the Baobab tree, has been chosen because it represents: endurance (survival and life in sometimes harsh conditions), conservation, creativity, ingenuity, protection and dialogue (place to gather and meet). It is also a symbol of beauty, majesty and presence in a rich and complex landscape.
