The Portland HBCU Send-Off & Reunion Mixer is more than a celebration—it’s a homecoming for alumni and a launchpad for the next generation. This powerful gathering connects past, present, and future HBCU students from Portland, offering mentorship, culture, and community in one unforgettable evening. Let’s give our incoming freshmen the send-off they deserve—and remind them they’re part of a legacy far greater than themselves, one that begins here at home.
