About this trip
A Fresh Start in a New Continent!
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting the HBCU Young Alumni Association and Bash over the past several years. Over the last several months, we have been working behind the scenes to improve the mission of this organization and the experience that we provide you all with. Now, as the HBCU Alumni Association, we are working to expand our alumni base and continue to foster a network of Black Alumni worldwide. With this change comes greater steps in a great direction, so our annual Bash is heading to Cartagena, Colombia in June 2024 to dive into the immersive culture and to reunite and connect with HBCU alumni of our prestigious alma maters.
If you’re Bash fam, you already know the vibes. If you’re new here, tell a friend to tell a friend that Black excellence will be taking over Cartagena very soon!
