Visionaries Inspiring Black Empowered Students (V.I.B.E.S)

February 7-9, 2025 | https://vibes.wsu.edu/

VIBES aims to motivate and encourage high school students to seek higher education opportunities. Sponsored by the Black Student Union of Washington State University, we strive to give tomorrow's youth a sense of direction with higher education and community-minded leadership through mentoring and volunteerism. It is our hope that the students see the value of ongoing learning and the need to always reach higher and dream bigger with the endless opportunities that await them with a solid educational foundation.

Students will get an opportunity to visit WSU Pullman and understand life as a WSU Coug firsthand through a series of workshops and activities on topics like financial aid, tackling student loans, applications, deciding the right major and more.

Participant Information

VIBES student leaders have projected to host 75 students at Washington State University for our annual leadership conference. In order to participate in VIBES, all students must be at the junior or senior level of high school. Although, we do encourage 9th and 10th grade students to apply, priority will be given to juniors and seniors.
