What is the AT&T Rising Future Makers Showcase?
AT&T Rising Future Makers is a program that honors a distinguished group of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) students who are actively influencing and giving back to their communities and campuses. Over the past 2 years, 50 HBCU students from 14 institutions nationwide have participated in the program. The application process is officially open for the upcoming cohort of students, offering them the chance to elevate their dreams with unmatched connections, networks, and opportunities that will drive their ambitions forward.
Creating an inclusive community for the next generation of leaders, the Rising Future Makers Showcase is a call for future-focused HBCU students to apply to become a part of the Rising Future Makers network, by exhibiting how they are making a difference. Through the Dream in Black platform, AT&T prioritizes amplifying historically underrepresented voices and equipping upcoming generations for success.
“Empowering these students isn’t just about leveling the playing field,” said Michelle Jordan, chief diversity officer, AT&T. “When we invest in their dreams and aspirations, we’re nurturing the growth of our rising leaders and change-makers who will shape a future defined by innovation and boundless possibilities.”
