Historically Black Colleges Recruitment Event

For the past 10 years, the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration (CILC) has joined with the Indianapolis Black Alumni Council in sponsoring a college fair distance recruitment event. Each year between 250 and 400 students connect via videoconferencing to between 40 and 50 Historically Black Colleges and Universities recruiters who convene in Indianapolis during the Circle City Classic event. Recruiters share information about their historic and prestigious institutions with eager high school students, including student/teacher ratios, tuition costs, details about academic and honors programs, admissions policies and requirements, college specialties, and scholarship opportunities. The two-way interaction demystifies the college application and search process and exposes available opportunities, both scholarship and academic, to more students seeking higher education.
