What Makes HBCU Heroes Special
HBCU Heroes, in collaboration with A New Day Foundation, provides an ongoing webinar series focused on financial literacy and career preparation, engaging college students from historically Black colleges and universities. The first series ran from September 2024 to August 2026.
The conversations went well beyond the basics. Students explored artificial intelligence and the technology reshaping the workplace, how to manage money, build credit, and plan for the future, and how to prepare for and grow in their careers.
Sessions also made room for community: what it means to lead, give back, and lift others up, and the real experiences young people are navigating today, from campus life to their first jobs.
