Testimonials

Attending the Black College Tour my senior year of high school was definitely a stepping stone for my life. Before attending I had set in my mind that i would attend Indiana University, I had no idea how much of an impact this tour would be for me. While going through the process of preparing for the tour i really began to search information on HBCU’s. Howard University eventually became my number one choice. But the BCT gave me a opportunity to see the environment of black colleges and I immediately fell in love. I am so thank for the the opportunity that was provided for me through the BCT and it changed my life. I love Howard University and wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world.

Indianapolis, IN (March 25, 2010) – When most people hear DST they think of springing their clocks forward for Daylight Saving Time, but for 43 area students preparing to spring towards their futures, DST stands for Delta Sigma Theta!

“As a former Black College Tour participant, to having the opportunity to serve on the committee as student coordinator, I have personally seen the positive impact this program has had over the past 25 years for both parents and students,” said Rachelle Hardiman Bible, Chapter President. “The Black College Tour allows students to see for themselves what Historically Black Colleges and Universities have to offer. It is a joy to know the chapter has provided this opportunity to more than 1000 high school students since its inception. We are very proud to sponsor an educational program that makes a positive impact on young people and is still on the road to success after 25 years.”

The anniversary celebration begins Sunday at 8:45 a.m. DST at the Martin Luther King Community Center, 40 West 40th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46208. The bus departs for the tour at 9:00 a.m. DST.
