A Night To Remember: VIP Reception Kicks Off HBCU Week Foundation College Fair At Disney World

The excitement surrounding HBCU Week Foundation College Fair began with an unforgettable VIP reception held at Disney World’s stunning Three Bridges Bar and Grill. The evening set the stage for an impactful day of events dedicated to connecting students with life-changing opportunities through Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).



This exclusive gathering brought together an impressive list of attendees, including Disney executives, HBCU Week College Foundation leadership, and former HBCU students, all dedicated to the cause of expanding educational opportunities for high school students. Special guest Howard University alumni Anthony Anderson, star of the hit TV show black-ish, was also on hand to lend his energy and passion to the evening. The night came alive with the sounds of a live DJ, adding to the celebratory atmosphere as guests mingled and shared stories of their HBCU experiences.

The evening wasn’t just about celebration; it was a powerful reminder of the mission behind HBCU Week. The College Fair, set to take place on October 24 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida, is a pivotal event designed to offer high school students a chance to explore educational pathways that lead to HBCUs. With recruiters from over 40 HBCUs in attendance, students will have the opportunity for on-the-spot acceptances and even scholarships. The day will also feature Lunch & Learn sessions sponsored by event partners, offering additional insights into college life, careers, and beyond.

Along with these invaluable opportunities, the College Fair will be packed with live music and entertainment, continuing the celebratory tone set by the VIP reception. It’s a day that promises to make lasting impacts on the lives of many future HBCU students.

As HBCU Week continues, we look forward to seeing students and their families engage with the wealth of resources and opportunities available. Whether it’s gaining acceptance to the school of their dreams or simply learning more about HBCU culture, this is truly a week of inspiration and possibilities.
