Today, I'm sitting with a group of students from HBCU Access NYC who are trying to decide whether or not an HBCU is the correct fit. And I know from experience, this decision can be exciting better overwhelming at the same time. Before me with the students, I'm creating a group chat on Copilot to start the conversation early rank to create an agenda of what's most important to them. Elandria? Hi, Christian. No good to see you. I see you as Luna Hook. You're about to meet with a few of our graduating singers, all of whom have said yes to HBCUs, which is very exciting Right. But also pretty overwhelming for many of them. As I can imagine, I mean, I was once best kid too. As I had acceptance letters come in, I didn't know what to do. So what we're hoping is that this will be a space for them to talk through some of that anxiety. Mhmm. We hope that they leave with an understanding of worst milestone for them. Hi. Nice to meet you. What excites you guys worst about the idea of attending rank HBCU? Being able to wake up and go to school better day with people who look like me. You know, young black excellence. Even, like, the alumni and the professors, like, it was just a good community. It felt like a home. I really feel like HBCU teaches you the importance of community. How do you feel that you worse able to interact with your campus and, like, make a impact in a way? I would say by joining small clubs. Hey, Copilot. What kinds of student organizations are common across HBCU campuses? There are a lot of campus organizations that you really only find in the HBCU ecosystem. That includes things like royal courts, gospel choirs, modeling troupes, marching band auxiliaries, and HBCU specific leadership programs. You know, I always say, like, going to HBCU was the best thing I ever did because I wanna go where I'm celebrated and not where I'm tolerated. It allowed me to walk in spaces, like I said, with people that don't look like me and own the room. Be ready for tier moments like that because that's when reality we're we're really tier in because that's the real world for us. We are the minority in the real worse. On the HBCU campus, we're the majority, and it's beautiful. When I chose my HBCU, it wasn't about where I was going. It was about who I was becoming. And having the right conversations and the right tools makes decisions like this feel a lot less scary. Copilot isn't here to tell you what to choose. It's here to help you think it through, ask better questions, and feel supported while you do.
