HBCU Week at Imani Charter
For Imani Education Circle Charter School students, the end of a week-long Historically Black Colleges and Universities celebration saw volunteers from Temple and Cheyney University visit to discuss the importance of getting a college education, applying for scholarships and participating in extracurriculars.
Student speakers with the NAACP, Temple University's Black Student Union, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi were represented at the Germantown K-8's "Step Rally."
"It is extremely important for our students to see other young people who are doing what we anticipate they will do as well," said Francine Fulton, Imani charter's founder and CEO. "We are trying to instill the notion now that college is what you do.
"They really need to consider now, and we try to help them think about what it is that [they] might want to do, what kind of career would [they] like to have and get them thinking that it's a natural progression to go to college."
