Jackson State and Alabama A&M alums got together at Flight Works to socialize and talk business, ahead of the big game Saturday.
“This is an event that shows the Gulf Coast challenge is more than just a football game,” said Nikki Porter, a small business owner and on staff with the GCC.
“The goal of this reception is to get the HBCU community partnered with the corporate world,” said Kevin Ball, on the Board of Trustees for Alabama A&M.“To have this face to face is so great, and to have the networking opportunities flourish right here on this platform, you can’t ask for much more,” said Porter.
Most people here agreed it was a success, and they are looking forward to the game at Ladd-Peebles stadium Saturday.
