A Stillman College student is among 25 to be honored as part of the Rising Future Makers Showcase, presented by ATT&T Dream in Black. Stillman’s Ekhorose Aghahowa is a junior business administration major who aspires to be a philanthropist.
The award recognizes students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who positively influence their communities, according to AT&T.
Aghahowa serves as the Student Garden Volunteer Manager on campus, aiming to create healthy, sustainable eating habits within her community. She hopes for a future where nutritious food choices are critical to underserved communities’ culture.
According to the official announcement, “each student will receive $5,000 presented by AT&T 5G, a 5G-enabled tablet with one year of AT&T service, among other gifts. They will also gain access to professional workshop opportunities, including mentoring sessions with AT&T executives to grow their network and further their professional development.”
This annual program empowers the next generation of innovators, while fostering diversity and inclusion in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
The Rising Future Makers Showcase reflects AT&T’s long time support of HBCUs, continued commitment to empowering diverse communities and dedicating resources that foster economic growth while helping bridge the digital divide, which disproportionately impacts communities of color.
