Columbus, OH (BlackNews.com) - HBCUConnect, the mega-site related to Historically Black Colleges and Universities gears up to promote their third-annual HBCUConnect Alumni Cruise.

Every year, HBCU Connect raises money for students at historically black colleges and universities and helps raise the awareness of HBCUs via events, partnerships and the work of The HBCU Foundation. The seven-day cruise will set sail November 14th - 21st 2009 and is expected to be a blast.
