HBCU Awareness Foundation’s Inaugural Career Fair

April 10, 2026

Join us for the HBCU Awareness Foundation’s Inaugural Career Fair — a powerful new initiative designed to connect talented HBCU students with leading employers, graduate programs, and career-building opportunities.

Taking place on April 10, 2026, in Memphis, TN, this event brings together students from a wide range of Historically Black Colleges and Universities for a day of networking, professional development, and direct access to organizations looking to recruit the next generation of leadership.

Whether students are exploring internships, full-time employment, or advanced education pathways, the Career Fair provides a welcoming space to build meaningful connections, learn from industry professionals, and take important steps toward their future careers.

This is more than a fair — it’s a launchpad for success.

We invite all students, community partners, and supporters to save the date and be a part of this historic moment.
