PRESS RELEASE
INAUGURAL HBCU SPORTS SUMMIT SET TO KICK OFF JUNE 2023 AT M&T BANK STADIUM
May 15, 2023- Irvine, CA – M&T Bank Stadium will host the inaugural HBCU Sports Summit on June 3rd-4th, in an effort to promote and educate 7th- 12th-grade students and families to showcase the experience of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
The inaugural event was created by Co-founder and NFL player consultant, Ro Rochester; Co-founder and NFL agent advisor, Terrence Davis; to serve as an informal seminar teaching basic subjects that parents and student-athletes should know about the HBCU enrollment process. An HBCU Expo with vendors will be ongoing for students and families to engage with representatives from respected institutions, providing resources and in-depth information.
“The HBCU Sport Summit was developed to give our people a place to go to get all the information needed to be successful,” said Ro! Rochester, Chairwoman of the HBCU Sports Summit. “We want our athletes to focus on the forty-year plan and not just their four-year plan. Allowing our students to see HBCUs as more than a college but a cultural experience. At the summit, families will be surrounded by black excellence.”
The two-day event will consist of a panel discussion with notable names from the sports industry on cultural literacy, financial management, and information to help students understand the enrollment process and the next level of entering high education. The summit will conclude with a player and coach on-the-field interaction that will include student-athletes’ introduction to HBCU rankings per position. This event is following all NCAA recruiting requirements. College coaches will NOT be on the field with participants; however, the event will help expose athletes to compete in front of coaches while allowing them the opportunity to learn about college programs.
“We are creating a space for athletes to showcase their talents to HBCU Colleges,” said Rochester. “This platform gives coaches a chance to see the talents of each player. While educating the players and their families about the process of eligibility for higher learning. It Starts with us, and we are committed to giving everyone an opportunity to enroll in the HBCU of their choice”.
