“HBCUs allow us to enter a space where we are loved, we're accepted, and we're valued.”
“When coming into an environment such as this, you want to feel the love, and you most definitely feel it here at Shaw University.”
“Coming to an HBCU has taught me what a true family is.”
“Bethune offered me opportunities like no other. ”
“To be able to come to Shaw and see universities and see people who have different lives and different experiences shed some light on me to be able to be who I am. ”
“Coming to an HBCU — I've loved the experience. I've wanted to go to an HBCU since day one.”
“Ever since I've been here, it's been nothing but growth and potential and just creating great friendships and partnerships with those around me.”
“As a first-generation college student, it enlightens you to come to an HBCU because of the benefits they offer, the leadership, and the different opportunities that you can run across.”
“Your professors—they're here for you. It's like family.”
“If you look down the line, many successful people are graduates of HBCUs, and why not be a part of that long list?”
