8th Annual CBUS HBCU College Fair
About this Event
🎉 Join Us for the 8th Annual CBUS HBCU Experience! 🎉
IMPORTANT: ONE WORKSHOP PER ATTENDEE
To receive your ticket for the College Fair experience, each attendee must register for ONE (1) workshop by clicking “RESERVE A SPOT” then select your preferred workshop. Workshop seating will be first come first served based on your arrival time so please plan to arrive early.
If you are bringing guests, please register each guest by name and select one first-choice workshop for each person attending.
Please do not register yourself or your guests for multiple workshops during the same session block. Each attendee can participate in only one 60-minute workshop. If you or your guests are registered for more than one workshop, we will keep the first workshop selected and release the additional tickets so other attendees have an opportunity to participate.
One attendee = One name = One first-choice workshop.
Thank you for helping us ensure everyone has access to their preferred workshop!
