The group Los Colores did a very informational research project on HBCU’s vs. PWI’s. An HBCU is a Historically Black College or Institution and a PWI is a Predominantly White Institution. They mainly highlighted the many stigmas’ that are related to HBCU’s. According to peers that do not attend HBCU’s, they feel that Black Institutions do not focus their attention on academic but instead on partying. I do not feel that this is true at all. Howard University is a very prestigious University that is very concerned with our grades. They stand as the most prestigious HBCU so that stereotype is far from the truth. Another concept they covered was that our peers at Howard University would not want to continue their education at another HBCU. They want to be able to say that they were a well-rounded student so most of them will further their education at a PWI. Although, I learned a great deal about stereotypes that come with HBCU’s, I felt that Los Colores went into too much detail when explaining their research topic. I feel that they could’ve slimmed down their presentation to ten minutes instead of 20. I did enjoy the beginning part where they translated their purpose of the research in both Spanish and English. It added a nice touch to their presentation.
