This week the 100 Black Men of Austin took students from the Collegiate 100 of Huston-Tillotson University and @hsweattcenter (University of Texas) to attend the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference in Washington DC. Students attended @cbcfinc sessions and @100blackmendc hosted the Inaugural Black Male Empowerment Symposium in partnership with @ylmi_hu at Howard University.

Thanks Dr. Gabriel and @jaycoliseum for pouring into the young men in the DC area and beyond!

The 100 Black Men of Austin has been working behind the scenes the past few months for the upcoming academic year. We’re preparing for our voter education PSAs as well as supporting our Collegiate 100 at Huston-Tillotson University.

This past Saturday, we had the honor to work with our Collegiate 100 board members supporting incoming HT students at the IDEAL Summer Bridge program. We hosted 80 students at Harvey Pennick Golf course to educate students on the importance of starting off the school year on the right path by aiming for a 3.0 – 4.0 GPA, understanding the importance of networking, preparing their resumes and headshots, researching companies to prepare for internships, understanding financial freedom, and emphasizing all of the above starts now.
