11 HBCU Alumni in Tech to Follow On Twitter

October 24, 2015 HBCU Alumni

We often hear about the Stanford and Cal alumni working in tech and building companies. However, historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) make up 3% of American college and universities, and they produce a large percentage of the countries’ black professionals and leaders. For example four out of five black federal judges have graduated from an HBCU. And for every three black engineers, one of them has graduated from an HBCU.

For my HBCU alumni working in tech, I encourage you to start highlighting your alma mater along with your success. (Sidenote: I’ve recently added my alma mater to my twitter bio)

As the tech industry, is sorting through solutions to help identify more black talent, let’s show our HBCU Pride. Let them see the quality talent produced by these historical institutions. And in alignment with this goal, here are eleven HBCU alumni to follow on twitter who work in tech.
