The Ultimate HBCU Experience is back! This year we’re exploring technological and innovative majors at HBCU’s. Participants will experience a day in the life of an HBCU college student with interactive panels and workshops. We will turn our facility into a mini college campus and simulate the process of choosing a class track, working with FASFA, going through orientation, and roommate assignments.
