20th Anniversary Celebration
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
These words, spoken by the late activist and philanthropist Nelson Mandela, capture the mission and purpose of The Malcolm Bernard Historically Black Colleges and Universities College Fair, Inc. (MBHBCU). For the past 20 years, MBHBCU has played an integral role in educating students about the historical significance and academic strength of HBCUs. What started as a single day fair for one school, has evolved into a multi-day event which takes place at six sites in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. MBHBCU is now the largest HBCU college fair on the east coast, attracting more than 12,000 students yearly from the tri-state area and beyond.
On March 3, 2019 we held a luncheon celebration at Delta’s Restaurant in New Brunswick, NJ to recognize past and current volunteers as well as our dedicated partners and future supporters. During the affair, we delivered a charge to commit ourselves to:
- The educational advancement of diverse young people all over the globe
- The public awareness and financial support of The Malcolm Bernard HBCU College Fair; and to donate our time and talents to the successful growth and sustainability of The Malcolm Bernard HBCU College Fair
On behalf of our students, parents, and volunteers we ask our followers to continue in support of our village. Your contributions will go a long way towards helping us meet our yearly programming goals. Help our scholars be the change we all wish to see.
