HBCU Con 2022

HBCU Con 2022
Posted By: Kennedy Williams on March 21, 2022

HBCU Con is a community celebrating and bridging the gap between Historically-Black Colleges/Universities and Black geeks-at-large. Through this unique lens, we bring you the #BlackGeekHomecoming experience.

The HBCU experience has played a vital role in shaping who we are as nerds, and continues to serve as a hub to black nerds around the world. This unique lifestyle is rooted in the African diaspora’s contributions to academia and culture, from its adjacent organizations to its pioneering nerds of the community. HBCUs were among the first institutionalized safe spaces for Black nerds in the Americas. We believe all people of color deserve the affirmation, comfort, and empowerment that comes with the HBCU experience. HBCU Con seeks to highlight the context and vitality of these spaces via its special events, programs, and campaigns.



Join us for #BlackGeekHomecoming as HBCU Con hosts its inaugural LIVE convention on the campus of Bowie State University!
