The S4 Fellowship provides an exceptional opportunity for graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to progress in their careers within the ever-changing digital advertising and marketing services sector. We've had the opportunity to collaborate with esteemed clients from various industries, receive mentorship from accomplished professionals, and showcase our talents to influential figures within the field. These invaluable experiences, skills, and lessons have cultivated an environment in which Fellows can aspire to become prominent figures in the industry.

The HBCU impact: Advancing inclusivity and amplifying voices.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) were established in the United States primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries to provide higher education opportunities for African Americans who were excluded from predominantly white institutions due to racial segregation and discrimination. During a period marked by systemic racial inequality, these institutions played a pivotal role in empowering Black individuals through education, nurturing leadership qualities, and driving forward the cause of civil rights.

HBCUs transcend the traditional notion of education; they stand as launchpads that propel future generations into greatness. In the sacred confines of these prestigious institutions, the next generation of visionaries, boundary-pushers, and trailblazers are being nurtured. Our Fellowship mission? To cultivate a vibrant talent pipeline that fosters professional growth and ignites an industry-wide transformation. We're partnering with HBCUs to connect their exceptional graduates with our mission of enriching and diversifying our industry's landscape. Together, we're turning the page on history and writing an exciting, inclusive future!
