During this year’s Bayou Classic FanFest, eHBCU and MedCerts reimagined the FanFest tailgate experience through their one-of-a-kind Tailgate Triage activation at the Caesars Superdome. eHBCU was onsite in support of Southern University and the full consortium, offering a tailgate-style “health check” and providing prospective students with information about the groundbreaking consortium.
“For far too long, education has failed at the innovation necessary to meet the needs of non-traditional learners,” said William Travis, Enrollment Admissions Manager at eHBCU. “As eHBCU embarks on a journey to go against the grain and forge new pathways for all, it’s only right that our partnerships are characterized by the same innovation. We’re proud to partner with MedCerts at Bayou Classic and beyond, opening the door for new opportunities. Together, anything is possible.”
“The Tailgate Triage came on the heels of an announced partnership between the nation’s first-ever digital consortium of HBCUs bringing culturally enriched education online for millions of Americans, eHBCU, and the nation’s leading online Healthcare & IT career training platform, MedCerts, to expand its offerings and increase opportunities for certificate-seeking students.
