Dear HBCUs
Homecoming is not only a time to revisit where we’ve been, but also celebrate how far we’ve come! Historically Black Colleges and Universities have helped to shape and define the future of so many. We gave recent alumni a chance to show their love and appreciation for their alma maters with more HBCU Love Letters. This homecoming season, as we listen to their stories, let’s celebrate the work of HBCUs and the lives they uplift!

Common Ground
Fisk University. Meharry Medical College. Tennessee State University. Three distinct HBCUs. Three distinct legacies. Three distinct vibes. But these schools all have common ground, a common purpose, and (with their $50,000 Retool Your School grants) a common goal: upgrade their campuses and uplift their shared Nashville community.
