🎓 DID YOU KNOW?

There are 107 HBCUs across 19 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

While many Colorado students are familiar with local colleges and universities, HBCUs offer a unique blend of academic excellence, cultural connection, and community. For generations, these institutions have created spaces where students feel a strong sense of belonging, see themselves reflected in leadership and campus life, and are empowered to succeed both in college and beyond.

Bonus Question 🤓
Can you name the HBCU closest to Colorado without looking it up?

🎨 YOUR ART. OUR LEGACY. ✊🏾

Last year, we had the opportunity to work with to create the inaugural Mile High HBCU Weekend commemorative t-shirt. We’d loved seeing members of the community proudly rocking the design at our events and taking a piece of the experience home with them.

As we prepare for the 2026 Mile High HBCU Weekend, we’re excited to once again shine a light on a talented Black creative and commission the official design for this year’s commemorative t-shirt.

We’re looking for a design that captures the spirit of HBCU culture, legacy, pride, community, and the energy that makes Mile High HBCU Weekend special.

✨ Paid commission opportunity
✨ Your artwork featured on the official 2026 commemorative t-shirt
✨ Exposure to hundreds of HBCU students, alumni, and supporters from across Colorado and beyond
✨ An opportunity to leave your mark on a growing community tradition

A special thank you to for helping us bring our first commemorative shirt to life in 2025. We can’t wait to see what the next artist creates for 2026.

Interested?
📩 Send us a DM or email [email protected] for more information.

Tag a Black artist, illustrator, or designer who should submit their work! 👇🏾
