Just the anticipation was enough to make fans dance as they walked into the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort.
Felicia Smith brought several of her students to Friday's career fair, which featured on-the-spot admissions and scholarships. It had 8,657 student attendees.
"This was their first experience with HBCUs, it was amazing. Four of them got accepted to Alcorn State," said Smith. Tracee Davis founded a dance school that focuses on teaching girls HBCU dance styles. A number of her students are now also attending HBCUs. Some were even on the field Sunday in the Battle of the Bands.
Their school choices are not just because of the academics but also because of the culture -- with HBCUs offering an atmosphere like none other. "Historically Black Colleges and Universities really provide supportive culture, a supportive environment to ensure the students thrive," said Tunisia Agramonte, who is vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion for Disney's DPEP program."It doesn't, but coming for the bands, it kinda does," said one Howard University alum in the stands.Copyright © 2022 WPVI-TV.
