Real Talk, our virtual event series for Black students and their parents, is back! We’re kicking off the season with two nights to help students decide whether an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) or PWI (Predominantly White Institution) is right for them. Encourage Black students and their families in your school community to attend both Real Talk events on October 3 and 10 to compare their options and make the best college choices for them. These events are the perfect opportunity for students to interact directly with admissions reps and current college students!
Night 1: Tuesday, October 3, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT HBCUs, PWIs, and You: Join us and connect directly with reps from HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) and PWIs (Predominantly White Institutions) as they share real talk on selecting a college home that aligns with your teen’s personality and college and career aspirations.
Night 2: Tuesday, October 10, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT The Real Tea on HBCUs and PWIs: Want to know what college life is really like at HBCUs and PWIs? You and your teen can connect with current Black students who’ll spill the tea! Don't just hear it—experience it through their stories.
