Celebrate HBCU Students With NASA: Social Media Toolkit

This HBCU Week, Sept. 16-20, NASA is celebrating the contributions of its workforce who attended Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) We've put together this social media toolkit to help celebrate our past, present, and future #HBCU interns!

HBCUs have played a crucial role throughout NASA's history, educating and empowering many talented members of our workforce. Historic figures such as Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary W. Jackson, and Charles "Charlie" Bolden earned their degrees from HBCUs. Show your HBCU pride with the below graphics and hashtags.

Use #NASAInterns or #ArtemisGeneration for a chance to be amplified from the @NASAInternsaccounts.
