Space is the Place
We last covered Stillman College of Tuscaloosa, Alabama with an average score of 7.25.
We now head back to North Carolina to look at Saint Augustine's University, a small but historic university in Raleigh. Another early Reconstruction college, it was founded by Episcopal clergy in 1867 to help educated freed slaves. It has been primarily a liberal arts university but has long had a health department founded originally as a school for nurses. It was also the first HBCU to have its own commercial radio and TV stations. It is co-located with the Black neighborhoods of Idlewild and College Park in Raleigh.
In sports it is outstanding in NCAA Division II track and field having won 16 national championships in that division, the second highest of any NCAA Div II school.
Also in the fall of 2021 it wiped the tuition balance clean for its students using financial aid and gifts from the previous two years.

1. Thecoli will be rating most of the 101 Historically Black Colleges and Universities during the first half of 2023.
2. You can rate the HBCU on several factors including academics, the administration, school experience, athletics, post-grad success, and the "talent"
3. You do not have to be an alum/alumna or have attended the HBCU to vote
3. You can rate each HBCU anywhere on a scale of 1-10.
4. The results of the poll will be displayed publicly.

. Plus the CIAA tournament puts on a great show. People dressed to the nines, a bunch of after partied and a variety of women. Also when I was there track basically controlled the school. They had a lot of great athletes that went onto compete in yhe olympics
but with a school so small a girl that is a 6 at nc state, Duke, nccu would be a 8/9 at St.Aug.
