these common staples were the maIQngs of a great college-and
a great future-for Black people. .
[[Jollowing Mary Bethune's recipe for success, Black coUeges and
universities are making the most of the talent. intelligence and
determination of thousands of students. In this unique environ
ment, students are encouraged to fully express an of their abilities.
As scholars. Athletes. Musicians. Leaders. At Black colleges, there
is no ceiling on achievement; no goal is too far-fetched.
A nd from the graduate classroom to the corporate conference
room, that spirit of resourcefulness and achievement is a lasting
benefit to the graduates of Black colleges and those who live and
work with them. Is it any wonder that, though they enroll only
16% of Black college students, Black colleges produce 37% of
all Black college graduates?

colleges can reaDy get you cooking.
