The Atlanta Falcons and Wells Fargo are dedicated to leveling the playing field for HBCU students interested in kicking off careers in Sports & Entertainment. Through our unique partnership with Wells Fargo, students will also network and learn more about how brands collaborate in the areas of sponsorship and brand engagement. Together, with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), we're excited to move the future of this industry forward. Participating HBCUs include Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, and Spelman College.
