Xceleader

Empowering and supporting the next generation of leaders from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

[Xceleader @xceleader]

This #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈, Xceleader encourages today’s generation of student leaders to use their platforms to expand opportunities for all students, ensuring that their campus is a safe space to educate, organize and for others to express themselves freely.

[HBCU— say it louder! @voteHBCU]

The existence of our campuses have historically been viewed as a threat since the founding of our institutions and our strength as a community, including students, staff, administrators and alumni, will continue to keep us safe from today’s rising threats.

Thank you, Nashville! Last Thursday, we brought together our community of HBCU alumni, students and supporters to our Awards Dinner to celebrate our impact and honor those driving change.

During the dinner, we exceeded our goal— raising $43K in donations to deepen our impact.

It’s been a year since I started building @xceleader’s alumni community in Atlanta. This past Saturday, we volunteered at the Atlanta Community Food Bank (@ACFB) helping to sort 10,000 pounds of food.

The spirit of HBCUs lives on every campus. But it’s bigger than one school, one alum, one night.

We’re coming together to honor legacy, celebrate culture, and spark what’s next.

If we, as HBCU students, don’t advocate for ourselves, we can’t expect those in higher government to prioritize our issues.

[Xceleader @xceleader]

We are proud to celebrate Xceleader’s @voteHBCU fellow, Sagal Buchanan for recently being elected as SGA President at @bethunecookman.

We are excited to see how her leadership and passion for advocacy will transform the student experience at B-CU.
