The My HBCU Matters Summit is a multi-day, student-centered convening designed to expose high school and college students to Historically Black Colleges and Universities while preparing them for academic success, career readiness, and leadership development. The Summit brings together students, HBCUs, educators, corporate partners, and community leaders for immersive programming that includes college and career advising, student success workshops, leadership training, mock interviews, networking, and exposure to academic, athletic, and professional pathways connected to HBCUs. The Summit’s goal is to increase college enrollment, retention, graduation, and career employment outcomes by connecting students to resources, mentors, institutions, and opportunities that support long-term success.
