HBCUs represent "Black Excellence"

If you are an Alumnus or currently attend an HBCU, we want to feature you!

The "My HBCU Story" campaign is a free digital library allowing current HBCU students

& alumni to share their stories.

Whether you're reminiscing on moments from your favorite class, hang-out joint, homecoming game, student center, on or off-campus party, fraternity and sorority pledging, Greek show, or simply sharing how attending an HBCU changed your life, we want to hear your story!

Our goal is to use your "My HBCU Story" to promote and uplift the HBCU brand.

Your HBCU prepared you for success,

and now we want everyone to read about your "Black Excellence."
