HBCUs are a source of accomplishment and great pride for the African American community as well as the entire nation. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: “…any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation.” HBCUs offer all students, regardless of race, an opportunity to develop their skills and talents. These institutions train young people who go on to serve domestically and internationally in the professions as entrepreneurs and in the public and private sectors.

Bella Sheakley - Class of 2020
Which College, Program, or Job did you start after graduating? I went to the University of San Francisco where I am currently studying Psychology and Criminal Justice.
How has life after high school been different than you imagined? It's so much more expensive than I thought! I underestimated how much it costs to live as an adult.
Where do you see yourself or what do you see yourself doing in 2 years? Two years from now I will be a college graduate and hopefully I will be accepted into a really good masters program!
