Queen City Virtual HBCU Showcase
Good morning,
We would like to take the time to invite your sophomores, juniors,
and seniors to our Queen City Virtual HBCU Showcase. Although our
original intentions were to host this event in-person, COVID-19 has
challenged us to transition to a virtual platform.
Every Monday and Wednesday evening in October from 6pm-9pm EDT, we
will have a Historically Black College/University registered in a
time slot to give a presentation about their school. Students will
have a chance to ask questions and receive additional information
about each institution. We want to showcase the great programs that
HBCUs have to offer our students.
We are asking you to strongly encourage your students to register
to attend our Virtual HBCU Showcase. As a current educator in
Charlotte and a parent of four students, I am asking that you go
beyond simply adding this to the website or sending it out in an
email. We want each of your students to have an equal opportunity
to hear from each of the featured institutions.
Registration is free of charge. The form to register can be found
at www.pridgeoneventmanagement.com/qchbcu. When students register,
they will receive a schedule of when each school will be live in our
Zoom Room. Schools are still being added but the schools who are currently
confirmed can be found on our website, as well.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please don't
hesitate to contact us at any time. I have attached the flyer to this email
for you to use in your direct communication with your students and their
parents. Thank you in advance for getting this information to your students
and we look forward to connecting with them in October. Have a blessed week!
