HBCU #EAHomecoming Giving Campaign
100% of our goal has been met. Consider donating today to help!
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were chartered to educate students of color in a time of segregation and discrimination. They have definitely played an essential role in transforming the landscape of higher education in the United States. Today, in the era of rapid transformation, HBCUs are facing challenges and new obstacles.
Now, more than ever before, we must #standwithourHBCUs. Join us as we take on the challenges that threaten to shutter our vital intuitions of higher learning. We have so many exciting opportunities for you to get involved….here are a few!
