WILL MOSS, FOUNDER OF HBCUCONNECT.COM, ANNOUNCES MERGER/ACQUISITION
OF SECOND LARGEST HBCU WEB SITE
Columbus,
OH - In 1999, Will Moss launched HBCUconnect.com as the
first ever social network for African Americans. Nearly 10 years
later, the site is 1.2 million members strong and is the largest
online community for Black college students and alumni.
To strengthen
his reach, Moss has recently announced the acquisition of their
major competitor - HBCUnetwork.com. This further solidifies his
company's position as owners of the largest, most active HBCU
audience online. Also in their portfolio, is HBCU.com and HBCU.net.
"Our
goal is to be the #1 go-to source for recruiters and advertisers
looking to reach African American college students and alumni,"
says Moss. "We also want to help Black colleges build up
their student enrollment and alumni retention."
Current clients
of HBCUconnect.com include Nissan, Infiniti, Ford Motors, U.S.
Army, Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Alltel Wireless, and many more.
Currently,
there are 105 historically Black colleges in the United States
with over 300,000 enrolled students and hundreds of thousands
of proud alumni.
