In partnership with the Fort Bend Independent
School District (FBISD), Mu Kappa Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority,
Incorporated presents “It’s YOUR World” – An Educational Enrichment Expo
(E3). The event will be hosted on Saturday, October 29, 2016 from 9:00 am
to 2:00 pm at Willowridge High School (16301 Chimney Rock, Houston,
Texas). The event is FREE and open to the public.
E3 offers an opportunity for students and parents to
connect with representatives from Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCUs), learn more about opportunities available at local community and trade
schools, speak with professionals representing a number of careers, participate
with hands-on STEM activities and be a part of interactive workshops on helpful
topics.
HBCUs create an ideal educational environment for
students with diverse backgrounds. Spanning the current and last two centuries,
HBCUs have a legacy of providing a strong cultural, spiritual and academic
platform from which students can launch and fulfill their higher-education
goals. For students in the greater Houston area, there are two HBCUs in the
surrounding area, nine located within the state of Texas, and several HBCU
Alumni Associations to help bring awareness to the educational opportunities
available.
E3 is an annual event that is part of a global
initiative and platform to inspire, support, inform, and prepare students for
college and careers. For more information contact, Ruthelen Robinson via
