The Black Philanthropy Circle of Howard County (BPC) hosted its second annual "College Connections and Conversations" event this evening (12/29).

The event's purpose was to bring current college students from the area together to network with other college students and local professionals.

We also discussed the importance of philanthropy and "giving back."
