Celebrate HBCU Students at NASA with Us Using This Social Media Toolkit

NASA is celebrating the contributions of our HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) educated workforce from Sep. 16 - 20! We've put together this social media toolkit to help celebrate our #HBCU interns past, present, and future.

HBCUs have played a crucial role throughout NASA's history educating and empowering many talented members of our workforce. Names such as Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary W. Jackson, and Charles "Charlie" Bolden earned their educations from HBCUs.
