75 Students from 62 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Named 
2014 HBCU All-Stars

The White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities 
(WHIHBCU) today announced its first class of HBCU All-Stars, recognizing 75 
undergraduate, graduate, and professional students for their accomplishments in 
academics, leadership, and civic engagement.   Currently enrolled at 62 HBCUs, 
the All-Stars were selected from 445 students who submitted completed 
applications that included a transcript, resume, essay, and recommendation.
“Engaging with the next generation of leaders who will graduate from HBCUs and 
go on to make meaningful contributions to society is crucial to the success of 
our community, our country and our global competitiveness,” said George Cooper, 
executive director of the WHIHBCUs. “It is a privilege to announce these 75 
students who have demonstrated a commitment to both their own academic 
achievement and making a difference in their communities, and we look forward 
to working with them as partners in advancing President Obama’s college 
completion goal.” Over the course of the next year, the HBCU All-Stars will 
serve as ambassadors of the White House Initiative by provide outreach and 
communication with their fellow students about the value of education and the 
Initiative as a networking resource.   Through social media and their 
relationships with community-based organizations, the All-Stars will share 
promising and proven practices that support opportunities for all young people 
to achieve their educational and career potential. In addition, the 45 female 
and 30 male All-Stars will participate in regional events and web chats with 
Ivory Toldson, deputy director of the WHIHBCUs, other Initiative staff and 
professionals from a wide range of disciplines. They will also have 
opportunities to engage with other scholars to showcase individual and 
collective talent across the HBCU community.
More information about the activities of the 75 HBCU All-Stars will be provided 
in the coming months as they carry out their role as ambassadors of the White 
House Initiative on Historically Black colleges and Universities.
