Targeting more than twenty historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), the tour will inspire and motivate youth to use their education not only to enhance their professional growth opportunities, but to improve the country. UNCF's HBCU Empower Me Tour will focus on six topics: financial literacy, entrepreneurship, environment sustainability, professional development, health and wellness, and service and philanthropy. Offering students tools and advice on how they can play active roles in their communities, this year's tour will feature numerous celebrity speakers, entertainers, athletes, business and political leaders in a town hall panel format.
The second year of UNCF's HBCU Empower Me Tour, which is produced in partnership with the Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation, kicked off at Johnson C. Smith University on Tuesday, October 27th. The Tour will be hosted by ten additional colleges and universities throughout the country, concluding in April, 2010.
