The HBCU Africa Homecoming is an annual convening event that connects US Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) leaders, governments, stakeholders, influencers, C-suite executives, student leaders, faculty and Alumni Leaders with their counterparts in Africa and the African Union; this group along with the Forum for Kings/Traditional Leaders of Africa work to establish short, medium and long term collaborative partnerships and solutions for educational, economic, and social leadership exchange. There will be a special focus on curating strategic partnerships to expand study abroad options for HBCU Students in Africa.
More than 20 HBCU’s will be present looking to recruit students for undergraduate, graduate, and professional school admission onsite. Students and young alumni will also benefit from panels and networking, including the Student Panels. Innovative topics will be discussed by current students and young alumni moderated by Dr. Kimberly Monroe (grad of Grambling State and Howard- Assistant Prof at Trinity University) and Maya King (Howard graduate and journalist at Politico). It is also an opportunity to start conversations with HBCU’s you are interested in.
