Through our Ascend HBCU and Ascend Backstage programs, six talented HBCU students gained exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to the CIAA 2025 Tournament. They actively participated in event operations, Fan Fest activations, and networking with industry professionals.   Special thanks to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) and Van Wagner for making this enriching experience possible.   At Oak View Group, we created Ascend to provide students with hands-on opportunities at major events and help them expand their networks. With another successful activation in the books, we can’t wait to show you what’s next for our students!   #OakViewGroup #ASCEND #ASCENDatOVG #HBCU #CIAA
