In this virtual matchmaking program, Historical Black Colleges and Universities will have the opportunity to schedule one-on-one meetings with agents, counselors, university partners and foreign government officials from Africa.  The meetings will take place using the Eventtia platform. Each HBCU will be able to promote their institution and share a 360-degree virtual reality campus tour video in the 40-minute meetings. After the fair, each HBCU participant will receive contact details of all international potential partners that registered for the program.  As a result HBCU’s can build or continue building a network of reliable contacts throughout the continent.
