Today, we celebrate the victories of the past, recognize the challenges of the present, and commit to a better, more equitable future for all—especially Black Americans. This year, we’ve partnered with College Possible and our HBCU campuses to launch a special line of Juneteenth shirts. For every shirt sold in June, a donation will be made to College Possible, empowering students from under-represented communities. Since 2000, these programs have supported over 80,000 students on their path to a college degree. Wayne Felton, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at College Possible, said, "College Possible has spent over 20 years creating and illuminating pathways for students who have immediate and historic barriers toward college access and success. One such barrier is racism and the legacy of slavery on the institutions of this country. At College Possible, we join with millions around the country commemorating Juneteenth, affirming our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and the empowerment of students who have been gate-kept from higher education."

Access programs are crucial for making education more affordable and accessible—but new proposed regulations are putting them at risk.
