Did you know that Maryland is the northernmost state with four Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)? These institutions—Coppin State University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES), Bowie State University, and Morgan State University —are not only essential to the state but also to the rich history of African American higher education. HBCUs were founded during a time when African Americans were often denied access to traditional institutions. These universities provided a critical space for education, empowerment, and the preservation of the African American diaspora’s history and culture. Today, they remain sacred spaces that are welcoming to all students, regardless of race or ethnicity, and are centers of excellence and leadership. Morgan State University in Baltimore stands out as a shining example of what HBCUs represent—an institution committed to academic rigor, diversity, and community impact. Known as a National Treasure, Morgan State continues to cultivate leaders who make a difference across industries and communities. Corporations looking to invest in the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion should look no further than these top-tier schools. HBCUs are home to some of the brightest, most diverse talent ready to lead in Corporate America and beyond. Join us as we celebrate these incredible institutions and their contributions to our society! #CoppinStateUniversity #UMEasternShore #BowieStateUniversity #MorganStateUniversity #HBCUs #WalkToWallStreet #WBCollaborative #WBCFasterTogether #latinojustice #SERNational #SER #AreYouIN #HACR #HispanicInclusion #HHM #HispanicHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth2024 #StridesForChange

Goals

At the intersection of celebrity influence and business education lies an incredible opportunity to reshape industries and increase access to leadership roles for Black and Brown communities. Celebrities like Denzel Washington and Alex Rodriguez, who were recently inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America's Alumni Hall of Fame, exemplify how high-profile individuals can impact communities, serve as role models, and drive change. Their journeys from Boys & Girls Club members to global icons highlight the influence of mentorship, opportunity, and community engagement in shaping successful leaders. For HBCU business schools, partnerships with celebrities and influential public figures provide a unique chance to inspire students, showcase diverse leadership, and open doors to industries that are often underrepresented. By leveraging the reach and impact of celebrities, HBCU business programs can: Elevate visibility of business education’s role in creating leaders across various industries. Foster partnerships that provide students with mentorship, internships, and leadership development opportunities. Increase access to high-ranking leadership roles for Black and Brown communities by breaking down barriers and building pipelines to success. In the same way that the Boys & Girls Clubs celebrate the achievements of their alumni, we believe that business schools can use the influence of celebrity partnerships to inspire, uplift, and prepare the next generation of business leaders. We are always looking for partners to help us support our business schools and their students with events, sponsorships, and more.

This is about celebrating HBCUs as incubators of Black leadership, innovation, and cultural vibrancy.
