HBCU partnerships
In the past couple years we have had the pleasure of visiting many HBCU campuses across the nation. We have partnerships with Tennessee State University, NC A and T State University, Grambling State University, Morehouse College, Spellman College, Clark Atlanta University, Morgan State University, Claflin University, Bethune Cookman University, FAMU (Florida A and A University), Bennett College, Howard University and Hampton University. We feel it is important to connect with diverse talent, showing our commitment to the next generation of professionals.
Diversity organizations working with HBCUs
There are many ways in how we go about connecting with diverse talent, one of which is diversity organizations. Diversity organizations such as MLT, Leveraging Up!, NSMH, NBMBAA, NABA, NABJ and T-Howard. Through these organizations, we are able to see students at their best. Many students utilize these organizations to better develop themselves and prepare for a career after college. Thanks to the dedication of these students and the partnerships between these organizations and our team, we have enjoyed talented hires within The Walt Disney Company.
Not an organization, but an event, the MEAC/SWAC Challenge also allows us to showcase our commitment to our HBCUs. Helping to bring HBCU athletic and academic talent to a more national stage, this ESPN-sponsored event will feature South Carolina State University vs Southern (Southern University and AandM College) for the 2017 MEAC/SWAC Challenge.
