Florida’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) will each have 20-30 minutes on the program as well as “information stations” which allow recruiters small group time with prospective students. We anticipate a full morning of information, stimulation of HBCU college interest, and what we refer to as “slice of campus life” where we have a presentation from our Greek graduate chapters.
