BLACK COLLEGIAN Moving to New Online Job Board Format

THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online will be moving this month to a new jobs database format with expanded network jobs, instant Saved Search job alert emails, and streamlined searchable resume posting. We invite you to preview the beta model of our new job bank and its extended network of jobs.

For jobseekers with existing accounts on our old system, your account tools, resume, applications history, jobs in-box and search agent will still be accessible on our current system at http://blackcollegian.searchease.com until July 15, 2009. If you have any outstanding applications you would like to make to jobs saved in your in-box, we encourage you to do so or to make a copy of the posting before then.

If you have not visited our site recently, we hope you will explore our new job bank, now with simple new methods to search a vastly expanded network of postings, filter relevant jobs and schedule automated searches. Although the new system does not require it to search for and apply to jobs, creating a new account takes only a moment, and lets you also access the new versions of our easy-to-use searchable resume posting and manage multiple Saved Search Job Alert Email Agents.

New feature spotlights "Gentlemen of Quality" on HBCU campuses

We're glad to announce the return to THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online of contributor Ian Evans ("The Dress Code" First Semester Super Issues 2008) with a new feature, "Gentlemen of Quality," and examination of "Young Black Men who are upholding the tradition of achievement".

The far-ranging article features young men from across America's HBCUs, who in photographs and quotes tackle the challenges of being young, Black and male in a society where "positive images of quality, educated, enlightened young black men are few, while the image of uneducated drug dealers, pimps and thugs are widely known and celebrated."

The piece gives a compelling look at what men from Morehouse, Dillard, Howard, FAMU, Tuskegee and Fisk feel about the opportunities and hopes, and the continuing challenges and stigmas that lay ahead for Black men in Obama-era America.
