Recorded Wednesday, Nov. 12

HBCUs have long played a vital role in American higher education, with recent years showing renewed interest and increasing enrollment. Yet, many Black students — particularly those in independent and other school settings — continue to receive limited exposure to these institutions during the college search process. This webinar will present findings from a doctoral research study exploring how familiar school and college counselors are with HBCUs and how they advise Black students about them. As HBCU graduates, Jamon Pulliam, Ed.D. and Ebonee Mahone-Todman will share insights and actionable recommendations to help school-based and independent counselors more effectively inform students and create intentional opportunities to explore HBCUs. Register today!
