WASHINGTON, D.C. ─ Historically black college and university (HBCU)-serving news source HBCU Buzz is pleased to announce a partnership with an outlet whose sole purpose is to educate and empower its audience to become full participants in wealth creation within the global economy. Black Enterprise and HBCU Buzz are uniting to showcase areas of opportunity and expand media coverage for the historically black college and university (HBCU) community.
Since 1970, Black Enterprise has provided essential business information and advice to professionals, corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and decision makers. Since 2011, HBCU Buzz has provided news, sports, and information pertinent to HBCU students, educators, alums, and career professionals. With issues ranging from politics to fashion, HBCU students report news, cover events, and produce articles from their campus’s perspective. With a diverse and widespread team effort, HBCU Buzz is proud to be the voice of HBCUs. An indelible voice itself, Black Enterprise is the premier business, investing, and wealth-building resource for African Americans.
In honor of I Love My HBCU Month, these two minority-serving organizations, Black Enterprise and HBCU Buzz, are proud to announce a content collaboration.

We look forward to the collaboration and innovation that this partnership will produce, serving as a valuable model for black business and educational institutions.”
