Proposal Form, and Employee Research Participation Forms submitted. There is a realization of implications that affect enrollment as a result of underprepared admissions recruiters.

I wish I could say it still surprises me when I mentioned to people that I attended an HBCU (Historically Black College/University), some of them have no idea they exist. Often, it turns into a conversation starter, which usually evolves into a meaningful educational moment about the history of HBCU’s. However, occasionally I find myself becoming frustrated when ask the question “why” in a way that questions the validity and or need for HBCU’s in 2016. As a student at Hampton University I did not

Both of my parents furthered their educations at a college or a university, my mother

Like Alexander, Chisholm, and Robinson, I too, am the first in my family to accomplish a large goal. While I did not make “first” history like my ancestors, I conquered a tremendous personal obstacle. I became the first person in my family to attend college.

Hearing the phrase “HBCU” only to be followed by a negative comment. Mainly black colleges are needed for African Americans who were unaccepted for their race or undereducated about their history, but with such an adverse light on historically black colleges, it makes you think. Why are HBCU’s so necessary to
