Portland HBCU Send-Off & Reunion Mixer

If you have your HBCU gear, rep your HBCU, If not come as you are all are welcomed.

You can expect an uplifting, community-centered experience that’s both fun and meaningful. This event is all about connection—connecting with other HBCU students from Portland, meeting alumni who’ve walked this path before you, and finding mentors or even HBCU siblings who can guide you through.

Yes!! All parents are welcome.

The event is expected to last about 2 to 3 hours. This allows plenty of time for mingling, introductions, a brief program or speakers, and time for students and alumni to connect in a meaningful and relaxed way. Come when you can—and stay as long as you’d like!

Yes—absolutely, and thank you for your generosity. Any contribution, big or small, will go a long way in helping us cover event costs like food, venue, supplies, and student resources. More importantly, it shows our students that they have a community behind them. If you're interested, let us know.

Even if you can’t be there physically, your support can still make a powerful impact. You can donate to help cover event costs or provide care packages for incoming students. Help connect us with other HBCU alumni in the area who might want to attend or support.
