BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- MPT will be holding its Conversations for Change event during HBCU week. The focus for the discussion panel will be on the contemporary views of HBCUs. The entire HBCU week events run from September 6^th- September 12^th, but the discussion panel will be held on September 8^th at 7pm. Career Communications Group will be broadcasting the event in the HBCU village on STEM City USA's platform.

HBCU Week first came to MPT as a part of their "Standing Against Racism: Fostering Unity Through Dialogue" initiative.  The idea behind HBCU Week is to continue to share the stories of great Black people and their achievements, celebrate Black culture, as well as honor those who came before us to support a greater cause. During the event, segments from different HCBUs will be broadcasted, as well as hearing from panelists from all over the nation and give the audience the moment of asking the panelist questions live. CCG is honored to be able to broadcast such an event and allow as many people as we can reach watch this powerful, informative and inspiring event.
