The Empower Me Tour Zone is an interactive experience for middle school, high school and college-age students. The Tour Zone will give students an opportunity to learn valuable information, speak directly with college and corporate recruiters, win great prizes and have a little fun.

You will have an opportunity to pose for photos on the "red carpet" and then have them posted in the "Your Zone" section of this website for your friends to see. You can also be interviewed by Mo Stegall from The S.E.L.F Show and become eligible for our scholarship contest. We want to know why you chose to attend an HBCU or simply tell us your story ... let us know what makes you unique. The best story will qualify the winner for a one-on-one meeting with Hill Harper! There will only be one winner at each tour stop so get registered and let us hear from you in the tour zone. The winning videos will be posted in "Your Zone". You can get all of the contest details here.

Representatives will be on hand from leading corporations such as Wachovia, American Airlines, FedEx, Amtrak and Ford. Also meet representatives from UNCF, Teach for America, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and the NAACP to find out about available scholarships and register to vote.

The Zone will be rocking with your favorite campus DJ who will provide a background soundtrack. At select Tour Zone locations, check out neo-soul artist Liv Warfield for a live performance your don't want to miss.

We're going to keep some of the hot stuff secret but there will be giveaways and other cool features... but, you have to be registered to get in on the fun. Check the schedule to see when the tour is coming to your area and register today for the HBCU Empower Me Tour.
