Morehouse College was the host of one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

On Wednesday, two-time Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington graced the black university campus with his presence along with the cast of the movie, Fences. The stars came together to discuss the release of the highly anticipated film scheduled to hit theaters Christmas Day.

The upcoming drama is Denzel’s third film as a director.

The original screenplay was written by, as Denzel stated, “one of the greatest playwrights in all of history,” August Wilson. The story follows a former Negro League player, now working as a waste collector who is coming to terms with his new found life as the provider for his family. Alongside Denzel Washington who plays Troy Maxson is Academy Award nominee, Viola Davis who plays Rose Maxson.

A screening of the movie was held for Atlanta University Students Tuesday at the Regal Atlantic Station which many attended. Before the cast took the stage, Morehouse President John Silvanus Wilson Jr. took the stage and told the audience that he predicts “Fences” will quickly attract Oscar buzz.

“I predict that he has an Oscar coming to him. You heard it here first,” Wilson said.

The auditorium was packed with over 500 members of the Atlanta University Center who wanted to meet the cast and discuss the film. Jovan

Jovan Adepo, who plays Cory in the movie attended the dialog as well as castmates Stephen Henderson and Mykelti Williamson.

The cast seemed to enjoy the campus of Morehouse. While conversing with Press, Stephen Henderson reminisced on his times with 1976 Morehouse alum, Bill Nunn.

“I know the kinds of men that Morehouse produces it’s an honor to be here,” Henderson said.

Denzel Washington felt similarly as he reflected on times being at Morehouse to support his son.

“Morehouse feels like home to me; I remember being here with my son and being at the football stadium watching them play it’s good to be here,” Washington said.

One moment of inspiration came from a question asked to Denzel by Morehouse Senior, Temitayo Agoro. Temitayo is the founder of the Instagram phenomenon, @AUCCam when conversing with Denzel, Agoro asked what are Denzel Washington’s views on impacting the community through social media.

“Anything done with positive energy can affect change,” Denzel said. He was deeply interested in talking with students and inspiring them to follow their dreams.

BET was a co-sponsor of the event and with them came North Carolina A&T alum Terrence J, who moderated the dialogue with the cast.

The entire event was full of love, laughter, and support. Students walked away excited to see the film with their families and are still conversing online about their interaction with Denzel Washington.

College is the best four years of your life, they say. But those four years at college can also be rough.

With this in mind, Founder and CEO of HBCUBuzz.com Luke Lawal Jr., a graduate of historically black Bowie State University, offers the following five strategies for students at HBCUs across the country to get the best out of college. Lawal spoke with NBCBLK on tips for HBCU students to get the best value out of their time at an HBCU.

Here are some of our favorite quotes below.

Get involved.

“Get involved as much as you can. Join clubs and organizations that interest you. If you like to write, get involved with the campus newspaper. If you like to dance, get involved with the campus dance team. Join organizations that are beneficial to your field of study.”

Prioritize.

“Prioritize your time and your to-do list. Put those things that are more important at the top of your list. Manage your time wisely and never take on what you cannot handle.”

Have fun!

“Be spontaneous. Try new things. Meet new people. Eat at new restaurants. Be adventurous. Never sell yourself short. College is what you make it and it is up to you to make it the best ride you have ever been on!”

Howard University’s Stylish Buzz Of The Week: Imaan And Jahkada

Posted by Andrea Wooten

HBCUs are some of the most stylish campuses in the world. Howard University, specifically, is a campus where some students will “pop out” just because. Overall, the goal for many students is to simply showcase their personality through what they wear on a daily basis.

Check out these two Stylish Students of the Week below:

Imaan Esse is a junior, sports medicine major, chemistry minor from Memphis, TN. You can catch her slaying in anything from a graphic tee to a stylish low-cut dress.

“Anything I’m wearing I make sure comfort comes first.”

Imaan Esse

Imaan’s emphasis on simplicity and comfort may come as a surprise to some when they see her bomb outfits! Here’s Imaan’s quick formula for flawless outfits every time:

“I like dressing up simple outfits with heels and pairing them with some type of jewelry. Big hair, fitted bottoms, comfortable heels and a simple necklace is my go-to fit. Ryan Destiny and Draya Michelle are definitely style inspirations for me. They’re always seen in chic “on the go” looks that I love.”

Imaan’s Looks! 

Jahkada Chai is a freshman, business marketing major from Brooklyn, New York. She can be seen on campus in dope custom pieces, tight fitting body suits, flowy tops and so much more.

“Fashion is not just limited to the trends that everyone is wearing.”

Jahkada Chai 

Jahkada’s style expresses her personality and creativity perfectly. Here’s how she puts her looks together:

“My fashion style really allows me to express the way I am creativity with my clothing. It allows me to use different colors and styles to represent my mood for the day. I often like pairing different articles of clothing together that no one else would, or I would cut and modify the piece to go with my vision.”

Jahkada continues:

“Fashion is not just limited to the trends that everyone is wearing. I like to use some of the current styles and mix it up with a “wow” component. That could be dressing us a simple body suit with a custom jacket or boots. The idea is getting multiple uses out of one basic fit. My fashion sense comes from creating different looks that I have not seen people wear before and wearing it.”

57-Year-Old Grandmother Earns Bachelor’s Degree From An HBCU

A 57-year-old grandmother of 12 who admitted that college “was a rough four years” will graduate from a historically black college or university alongside hundreds of students on Saturday.

Meet Darlene Pitts, she’s a 57-year old hardworking woman in pursuit of higher education living in Norfolk, Virginia. During her time at college, she was working two jobs. But she had to “quit her job at a Kroger grocery store and focused on her schoolwork and her job as a special education teaching assistant at a local high school” after she discovered that she was placed on academic probation.

Pitts told The Virginia-Pilot that “I came to work in tears because I got a letter saying I was on academic probation.”

“Some of the classes, they were really rough,” Pitts added. “I was ready to throw in the towel. I just wanted to call it quits, but I just hung in there.”

Pitts will graduate from historically black Norfolk State University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and hopes to become a full-time special education teacher as well as probably continue her career as a student, according to The Virginia-Pilot.

“I love being in a classroom,” Pitts said. “I love being a student.”

Norfolk State University was founded in 1935.

It’s not every college newspaper staff hopes to create a project on the 21st-century black man. But Morehouse College’s student newspaper, The Maroon Tiger, and staff had every intention of using their platform to create a new voice to the conversation on today’s black men and boys around the world.

The Maroon Tiger just released their Black Male magazine, newspaper & website.

A Morehouse student who participated in this project told HBCU Buzz that “This includes an array of content covering the overall spectrum of black male existence and features voices that often fall on deaf ears.”

The Maroon Tiger’s third installation of Blk Boys is now available, you can view it here.

“Black men have many faces and voices,” according to a tweet shared on the official The Maroon Tiger Twitter account. “Here are a dozen more.”

The Maroon Tiger serves a broad community of students and scholars by maintaining a commitment to ethical leadership and promoting a global focus.

HBCU Grad: Trump Deserves To Be Among These Past Men Named Time’s Person Of The Year

Whether you love him for his entrepreneur spirit, frankness, and ad libs, or hate him for his political hardheadedness, narcissistic ego, and big personality, you can’t deny that President-elect Donald Trump has had a great year.

Time magazine has named Trump as their Person of the Year, which cap off an amazing year for Trump “who had the greatest influence, for better or worse, on the events of the year,” according to Nancy Gibbs at Time.com.

But one particular historically black college or university (HBCU) graduate has pointed out that, perhaps it’s fitting that Trump has been named person of the year in 2016.

Morehouse College graduate Shaun King says President-elect Donald Trump deserves to be in the company of other controversial people (Hilter, Stalin, and Putin) who were also Time’s Person of the Year in the past.

“Just a reminder,” King wrote on Twitter. He then lists the names of Hilter, Stalin, Putin, and Trump and says that “Trump actually very much deserves to be in this company.”

“The year 2016 was the year of [Trump’s] rise; 2017 will be the year of his rule, and like all newly elected leaders, he has a chance to fulfill promises and defy expectations,” Gibbs writes, explaining why the magazine chose him as their person of the year.

“For reminding America that demagoguery feeds on despair and that truth is only as powerful as the trust in those who speak it, for empowering a hidden electorate by mainstreaming its furies and live-streaming its fears, and for framing tomorrow’s political culture by demolishing yesterday’s, Donald Trump is TIME’s 2016 Person of the Year.”

Wiley Receives $1 Million Grant To Improve Job Outcomes Of Graduates

Posted by HBCU Editors

(Marshall, Texas) -After a six-month planning phase, UNCF announced Wiley College as one of 24 colleges and universities that will receive five-year grants totaling $35.3 million for the UNCF® Career Pathways Initiative (CPI), a transformative effort to design and implement programs to improve employment outcomes for graduates. Wiley College will receive $1 million over five years to implement its “Your Career Starts Now” program.

“Wiley College is honored to have been one of the institutions selected to receive this grant,” said Dr. Haywood L. Strickland, President and CEO of Wiley College. “This transformational initiative will strengthen the College’s career preparation infrastructure and engage faculty more intentionally in facilitating the preparation of students for jobs that will exist when they graduate.”

Strickland said Wiley’s faculty and staff are enthusiastic about the program. “The College is fortunate to have faculty and staff who are committed to working with businesses and employers in Texas as well as throughout the nation to align the curriculum with the competencies and skills needed by employers.”

Ultimately, says Strickland, the institution’s participation in the initiative will lead to increased positive outcomes for students and their families while enhancing the College’s reputation for producing graduates who are ready to compete, lead, and achieve in the workforce. “Wiley’s successful implementation of the ‘Your Career Starts Now’ program will ensure a higher return on students’ and parents’ investment and will enable the College to further enhance and sustain its market niche as one of the ‘best buy’ higher education institutions in Texas.”

You can scroll down to view an interview of Dr. Strickland by UNCF Senior Communications Manager Ashlei Steven.

Made possible through a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., the UNCF® Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) is a unique pilot program for select historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly black institutions (PBIs) that is helping them enhance career readiness for their 54,000 enrolled students. Many of these students will be the first in their families to earn college degrees. The majority of students are from low-to-moderate income families and must receive federal financial aid to pursue their undergraduate studies.

Wiley College submitted a proposal that reflects a commitment to strengthening career advising and mentoring, enhancing curricula, and supporting integrated co-curricular engagement. As part of CPI, Wiley College and the other selected institutions will develop a range of academic programs, student internships, industry partnerships, specialty certifications, and faculty development as they forge a new model for career readiness.

A complete list of colleges and universities receiving the grants can be viewed here.

“These colleges and universities show promise in significantly addressing the urgent challenges facing African American college students and graduates,” said Dr. Michael L. Lomax, UNCF president and CEO. “We heartily congratulate Wiley College and the 23 other institutions chosen to lead this important work.”

UNCF launched CPI in December 2015 through a rigorous and competitive multi-phased grant process that targeted 87 eligible public and private HBCUs and PBIs. In the first phase, UNCF made planning grants to 30 institutions. In the final phase, UNCF selected 24 colleges and universities for implementation grants. Of those schools, 15 institutions, inclusive of Wiley and its $1 million award, will receive individual awards ranging from $1 million to $1.5 million. Nine of the institutions have been selected for three cluster grants, in which each cluster of three institutions will collaborate intentionally to achieve their shared outcomes. Each cluster will receive up to $6 million.

UNCF Just Launched $35M Initiative To Improve Job Outcomes For HBCU Grads

Posted by Tommy G. Meade Jr.

A degree is no guarantee of success in the job market, in particular for black college grads. Many recent black college grads are underemployed and 12 percent are unemployed, a recent research has revealed.

Helping to improve job outcomes for “54,000 enrolled students” at certain historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and predominantly black institutions (PBIs), with the help from Lilly Endowment Inc., is a program hoping to make a dent.

“These colleges and universities show promise in significantly addressing the urgent challenges facing African American college students and graduates,” UNCF president and CEO Michael Lomax said. Announced on Monday in a news release, UNCF’s $35 million Career Pathways Initiative (CPI) aims to create a range of academic programs, student internships, industry partnerships, specialty certifications, and faculty development in an effort to make a smoother transition from college to a career for black college grads.

“CPI will help ensure our graduates are prepared for and are hired into high-paying 21st-century jobs,” Lomax continued. “With strong CPI results, we will be able to make the case to others to invest in a new model — one that enables minority and low-income students by giving them the knowledge and skills to be competitive in the global marketplace.”

In a statement, Morgan State University President David Wilson said that the university is “very pleased to have Morgan included as one of the select universities to participate in the implementation of CPI, further expanding our value proposition as an institution dedicated not only to graduating our students with a high-quality education but also assisting their transition into sustainable careers afterwards.”

He added:

“The resources made available as a result of this grant will provide much-needed support in our ongoing efforts to prepare students to meet the growing needs of employers, particularly in high-demand career areas, while increasing their likelihood of future success beyond degree attainment.”

According to the university, Morgan will work closely with Norfolk State University and Tennessee State University to improve graduates’ career outcomes.

NCCU Receives $1.1 Million TRIO Grant to Establish Educational Opportunity Center

Posted by NCCU
Posted on

DURHAM, N.C. — North Carolina Central University (NCCU) received a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Federal TRIO Programs office to establish a new Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) within the Division of Student Affairs.

The new center, set to open in spring 2017, will provide counseling and resource information on secondary school reentry, entry to a GED program or entry to alternative education programs for secondary school dropouts. The center will also provide guidance to qualified adults on the college admissions and financial aid processes.

“We are proud to be the recipient of the Federal TRIO grant program for the establishment of the EOC within NCCU’s Division of Student Affairs,” said NCCU Acting Chancellor Johnson O. Akinleye, Ph.D. “As we consider the success of our surrounding community as our own, we’re committed to ensuring that all prospective students, regardless of socioeconomic status, have equal access to educational resources.”

The Division will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of the new center and overseeing the budget. The five-year grant of $1,179,500 will serve a total of 1,000 participants from Durham, Alamance, Vance, Granville and Person counties — areas identified with significant underrepresented populations.

“This is a great opportunity to be a resource to our community and provide prospective students with the resources they need to be successful in reaching their goals,” said Miron P. Billingsley, vice chancellor for student affairs. “The goal of the EOC program is to increase the number of adult participants who enroll in postsecondary education institutions.”

The program will also provide services to improve the financial and economic literacy of its participants and offer counseling on financial aid options, basic financial planning skills and economic literacy education. Participants will also receive access to academic advising, personal counseling, career workshops, tutoring, mentoring and a host of student support programs and activities that strengthen their experience.

“We believe that everyone should have access to education,” added Billingsley. “This program will be a second chance for many North Carolinians.”

Educational Opportunity Centers — one of eight TRIO programs offered by the federal government — are designed for students who have limited English proficiency, students from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in postsecondary education, students with disabilities, students who are homeless children and youths, and students who are in foster care or are aging out of foster care system, or other disconnected students.

For more information on how to apply, contact the Division of Student Affairs at (919) 530–6342.

With the home team trailing 36-31, JaDon Davis made two free throws with 23 seconds left to cut Albany State’s deficit to 36-33. However, LOC’s Dareyon Terrell hit a shot at the buzzer to give the visitors a 38-33 edge at intermission.

Trailing 66-55, the Golden Rams went on 15-4 spurt to tie the game at 70 when Devontay Ward hit a free throw with 2:35 left to play. However, ASU could not find much offense down the stretch, and LeMoyne-Owen pulled away for a final time.

Brandon Hudson recorded 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks to lead Albany State. Ward tallied 15 points and eight rebounds, and Michael Green had a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Davis finished with 12 points.

The Golden Rams shot 25-of-65 (38.5%) from the field, 10-of-31 (32.3%) from three-point range and 11-of-19 (57.9%) from the free throw line.

LOC was led by Daron Maston, who scored a game-high 29 points. Rashawn Brown netted 18 points, and Justin Street added 12 points and eight rebounds.
