The Cookout

August 1 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm
Come enjoy an afternoon of fellowship, networking, great food, and celebration as we honor the next generation of HBCU excellence.

Join the Wichita HBCU Alumni Collective as we celebrate several outstanding Wichita-area students as they prepare to begin their freshman year at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country.

As these scholars embark on a new chapter, let’s send them off with love, encouragement, and the reminder that no matter where they go, their community is rooting for them every step of the way.
