Kentucky State University student named an AT&T Dream in Black Rising Future Maker
A Kentucky State University student was recently named as one of AT&T’s Dream in Black Rising Future Makers.
Christian White, a junior and current Mister Kentucky State University, joined the class of 2021 Rising Future Makers.
The new initiative by AT&T is designed to “support diverse communities through uplifting programs, support, and storytelling,” according to the AT&T website.
According to AT&T, “each selected Future Maker will receive $5Gs ($5,000) presented by AT&T 5G, a suite of AT&T technology products and services, and access to VIP advocates to help support them on their journey to create history-making change.”
“Throughout the years of recruiting, hiring, and working with universities across the nation, we know first-hand how HBCUs are building and shaping the next generation of Future Makers,” Angela Burgin, Director of Marketing and Special Experiences at AT&T said on its website. “Through this program we get to celebrate 25 outstanding individuals, along with sharing their stories as they endeavor to make a difference in their communities.”
According to AT&T, the program “recognizes an influential group of 25 students currently attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who are making a positive impact within their communities and campuses before finishing their degrees.”
