REGISTRATION FOR 2012 HBCU- E3 TOUR NOW OPEN!
For more than 20 years, the Urban League of Greater Cleveland has been conducting HBCU College and University Tours. These tours are unique because they spotlight three, high impact, focus areas. The tours expose the students to a variety of institutions. They visit small, large, public and private institutions. They walk the campuses and get a very clear sense of what it would be like transitioning from class to class and how different a college schedule is from high school. The Urban League has unique and extensive relationships across the HBCU network.
Historically Black Colleges & Universities – E3 Tour
APRIL 8-14, 2012
TWO TOURS: SOUTHERN & DEEPER SOUTHERN
A full week of fun and education!
REGISTRATION NOW OPEN!
25TH ANNIVERSARY
Participating students are engaged in challenging educational activities that range from games on the bus, actual class work at the colleges and exposure to museums and cultural activities in the surrounding community. An average student begins to see what it takes to pursue a college level education. At all times the students are encouraged to try new things and explore their potential. Students also have multiple opportunities to have conversations with current students, gaining valuable first-hand information on college life and what it takes to succeed. Students receive reinforcement that their future is within arms’ reach…….. they simply just have to reach for it. Students start the tours undecided. Yet, once they complete, they return, focused and determined.
Ultimately, the HBCU Tours provide students an experience that will help them to create a post secondary education plan that is achievable and therefore has a higher potential for success completion. Successful completion is not only marked by a student going to college, but by remaining in school until graduation. Achieving a college education sets students on a solid foundation that further prepares them to compete in a global economy and contribute to the well being of themselves, their family, the community and eventually the world.
