Against a backdrop of vibrant greens and blues, hundreds of HBCU students clad in cropped denims, bolded letterman jackets, and trendy telfars flooded Clark Atlanta University’s campus for the inaugural CultureCon on Campus student conference.
The student-centered event is under the umbrella of CultureCon, a conference that fosters community and connection for Black creatives and entrepreneurs in the film television and media industry.
Dana Ward, a junior fashion major at Clark, said she found out about CultureCon on Campus on Instagram, and she immediately signed up to attend the free event to take advantage of the rare opportunity.
“I think it’s an amazing idea for a big networking event for HBCU students, especially for the juniors and seniors on campus that are looking for those opportunities after graduation,” Ward said about the event, which was held on April 12. “We have nothing like this.”
