The HBC-U-OFF Summer Cookout is designed for Pittsburgh-area students entering their freshman year of college and upperclassmen returning to their respective Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs) in fall 2024.

The event aims to introduce incoming freshmen and their parents to alumni and current students from the same HBCU, facilitate connections among students in their local community, and create a network of resources both on campus and within the surrounding community of their HBCU.

Join us for a fun-filled day with friends, family, and the community! Enjoy delicious food, play spades and basketball, and take a swim. Remember to bring your swimwear, towel, and sunscreen.
