Repost from the @nba! We loved seeing HBCUs in the spotlight all night on Sunday during All Star Weekend. As an organization, we are striving to create equity for students at HBCUs, so it’s great to see the @nba doing the same!

Our Inclusion team is proud to host the second installment of UTA's #HBCU Tour in a week-long program that invites students to explore the business side of film, TV, music, sports, digital media, and much more.
In 2019, we traveled to HBCUs across the country and we are proud to build on that success by creating the same meaningful experience in a virtual format. UTA agents, executives, and clients will talk about their career journeys and the variety of career opportunities at an entertainment company.
Link in bio for speakers, schedule of events, and to RSVP.
This event will be hosted Feb 1 – 5 and registration is currently open to HBCU students only.
