#HBCUHOMECOMING GIVING CAMPAIGN

The Middlesex County (MA) Chapter of the Links, Incorporated, under the leadership of Eastern Area Director Shuana Tucker-Sims Phd, is a strong supporter of the 14 HBCUs in the Eastern Area spanning from New England to Virginia.  Our support falls into two categories: a) providing financial support, as a chapter and as individuals, for HBCUs in the Eastern area; and b) driving awareness, for high school students in the Boston area, of the benefits of attending an HBCU. 

​

The Eastern Area raised over $125,000 to support HBCUs.  We are proud that the Middlesex County (MA) Chapter was the top contributing chapter, raising $10,420 in 2021 and $7,825 in 2022 towards the Eastern Area HBCU Campaign. 

​

We provide awareness of HBCUs to Boston area students as follows:

  • Acting as benefactors to send high school students on week-long travel tours to visit HBCUs in the Washington, DC area;

  • Providing HBCU gear to students as incentives for them to research more about these schools;

  • Attending and presenting on HBCUs at local college fairs; and

  • Sharing member created videos on the value of an HBCU education and experience.

​

Watch these videos from three (3) members of the Middlesex County Chapter of Links, Inc. to learn about the value of the HBCU experience.
