<\/a><\/p>\nThis tour gave the students an opportunity to have a cultural learning experience through visiting The National Museum of African American History & Culture, eating some of the southern food in the area and on the last day attending Howard\u2019s homecoming festivities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe longevity and the history of the HBCUs create a feeling of unity that gives me a security blanket in having the ability to strive,\u201d said EVC communications major, Hamza Abdullah.<\/p>\n
Students on the tour felt welcomed and appreciated by everyone they encountered.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this being the first time going on the tour, I can already tell that the African American students would strive on these campuses with the information they are being given. As well as each student is showing excitement and comfort,\u201d said Umoja and general counselor Pamela Turner.<\/p>\n
This tour gave the students and counselors the opportunity to see what is offered to incoming transfer students.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot being able to go on the tour last year due to lack of funding by Evergreen seemed unfair as our sister college San Jose City was able to, which encouraged me to get in contact with the dean to get this trip rolling for Evergreen,\u201d said EVC media major, Kyrese McGill.<\/p>\n
Having EVC students join this year brought up the student transfer rate.<\/p>\n
10 students who had attended the HBCU tour in the past transferred to an HBCU, SJCC counselor, Meiko Daire said. Some plan to study at an HBCU for a semester through the UC or CSU and others will attend an HBCU to receive their master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the biggest barrier in transferring to one is cost, which the vendor that helps organize the tours can help with providing a writing scholarship workshop and a page of scholarships,\u201d Daire said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like out here the professors will help to see you strive and provide direct help as they have been in your shoes,\u201d Abdullah said, \u201cThe UC and CSU professors have nothing to lose in teaching you.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
