Overview
Our annual spring college tour is an opportunity for high school students to
explore and experience the college environment at various historically black colleges and universities. Our able and eager
group of volunteers plan an itinerary that offers students a full range of traditions established by the over 100 historically
black institutions of higher education in the United States. Whether it is meeting prominent and distinguished educators of
color; sitting in on a chemistry class; touring a University art gallery; receiving an offer of admission or a scholarship;or
even experiencing a spontaneous "step show", our students gain insight on various aspects of college life.
