“There is no publication available, in my opinion, that combines editorial quality, design, and reader service as admirably as does THE BLACK COLLEGIAN.  Although it is self-described as “The National Magazine of Black College Students,’ a title it has earned unarguably, it is much more than that.  THE BLACK COLLEGIAN is the finest publication for students, prospective graduates, counselors, placement officials and administrators with respect to employment opportunities and the preparation required to compete successfully for them.  It stands alone at the top of those publications with similar aims and aspirations”

Chancellor, University of Maryland

“In the six months of being unemployed I sent out many resumes; one went to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN.  This, unknown to me, was the beginning of my future.  Through the Job Assistance Selection Service of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN, I received applications from the Naval Underwater System Center in Newport, RI.  I never thought that I would be relocating to Rhode Island from Baltimore, MD but there are many good opportunities for upward mobility and continuing education.  My main goal in this letter was to tell you and everyone else at THE BLACK COLLEGIAN, thank you.  I hope that you can help someone else start on a bright future”

“…As a New Year’s present to some of my college friends, I decided to give them a one-year subscription to your great magazine.  I was first introduced to your magazine through the Career Placement Center at my school, Michigan State University.  MSU subscribes to your magazine and provides free copies for its students.  However, some of my friends don’t attend MSU, but another local school.  So, I decided to introduce them to your great magazine.  I have always loved your magazine.  THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine provides useful and essential information for today’s Black student.”

“‘We’re Proud Of Our Family.’ This was the theme the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies utilized to advertise career opportunities in thirteen major professional areas for Black students in the JOBS Issue of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine.”

“NASA Lewis Research Center has advertised twice in THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine.  Through our first advertisement, we hired two Black mathematicians.  One was a female who had a 3.4 GPA from Spelman College and the other was a male from SUNY-Binghamton with nearly all A’s.  From our second advertisement, a Black freshman electrical engineering student from Southern University applied for a summer job.  During his first semester he received five B’s out of six courses.  The Center is appreciative of quality students from a quality magazine and I will share that viewpoint with others.”
