Historically Black Colleges and Universities Distance Recruitment Event

Recruiters from the Historically Black Colleges and Universities are divided into two groups and broadcast from one location. Your site can connect with these two groups of recruiters to learn more about these historic and prestigious institutions. These recruiters offer college-bound students information on individual schools, scholarship opportunities, general college application information, including hints and tips for applicants; and information on college and university life.

Connecting students are encouraged to do basic research on the institutions (an electronic booklet will be provided) and develop and prepare thoughtful questions that can be shared during the round-robin Q and A sessions. This is an excellent time to introduce your students to the world of college recruiters and the educational world beyond high school.

Special guests will include engineers currently working with the Rolls Royce Engineering Department who attended Historically Black Colleges and Universiites.

“Bridging costs for this event are being sponsored by Rolls-Royce, a global business providing power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air. The company has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defense aerospace, marine and energy.” http://www.rolls-royce.com
