One day. Seven HBCUs. Over $1 MILLION in scholarship offerings.
What a moment for our students.
We were honored to welcome leaders, educators, and changemakers—including The Honorable Minister Keith Bell (Minister of Labor and Immigration) and Rasheem Rook of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF).
Two takeaways we're still thinking about:
James Payne (Leadership Session #2): "Leaders stand up. Leaders listen. Leaders must be willing to take the final shot."
Christopher Alvarez, Bahamian student at Harris-Stowe: "No dream comes without challenge—embrace the journey."
Proud to have hosted Benedict College, Claflin University, Florida Memorial University, Harris-Stowe State University, Huston-Tillotson University, Stillman College, and Wiley University.
To our students: the world is ready for you.
