My favorite part of attending an HBCU was experiencing everyday the emense diversity and knowledge of the faculty, staff and students. Everyone exceled at a high level and I felt like my professors and classmates were part of my extended family. There’s so much pride in the voices of HBCU alumni, we are passionate about our alma mater well after graduation.
