"As a first time client, The Washington Center has been very satisfied
by our experience working with HBCU Connect. William, Reginald, and the whole
team have exceeded our expectations by providing exceptional customer service
and helping us reach out to highly qualified students. While this was the
first time The Washington Center used the services offered by HBCU Connect, it
surely will not be the last."

"I am a matriculated
student at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn NY. I found out about HBCU website
about two years ago at a club fair at school. Today I walked into our student
services building and immediately noticed the HBCU Connect magazine with Puffy
on the cover. I am thrilled to know that he is a HBCU alumni. You are doing a
great job on the website and with the publications. Congrats and keep moving
forward. I am now a member of our school newspaper, Adafi, and I hope that we
can eventually have a magazine like HBCUCONNECT. Thumbs up to HBCU workers."

"The January 20, 2009
inauguration of President Barack Obama was an extremely heart warming and
life changing experience. My decision to use the Break-Thru email
blast program has brought change to my company. Within 2 days of the blast
we have experienced an 80 percent increase in sales. Thank you Break-Thru
for a job well done. 'Yes You Can' expect more of my ads to run with you."

"Break-Thru
is bar none one of the best affinity sites on the web. I won't add any words
of praise outside if you aren't associated with it, you aren't interested in
diversity. And if your company isn't a sponsor, you're not spending your
dollars wisely ... I have no stake in the site but have recommended many to
it over the years..."

"Break-Thru
offers a way to communicate directly to a very specific audience. What I
like is, as an advertiser, you know what you are getting when you reach
out to Break-Thru. I also think the diversity Break-Thru provides
is a critical piece to your value proposition. The bank realizes that it
must communicate and support its diverse customer base and this includes
HBCUs. As is evident by its support of the CIAA tournament and other
initiatives, the bank sees HBCU students as potential lifelong customers
and therefore makes it a priority to begin that relationship while they
are in college."

"The site gets
tons of traffic and truly is the #1 HBCU site. The staff is fantastic. The
staff is friendly, professional, and tech savvy. I have had good conversations
with several members of the staff. They have always been helpful and flexible.
In addition, the staff is qualified to speak on technical issues as well as
marketing and business affairs. It is essential to engage young people from
all backgrounds to lead our communities, nations, and world in creating the
Beloved Community. African American HBCU graduates are the ideal candidates to
develop leadership skills to lead in addressing our country's most critical
needs while making a positive difference in the lives of thousands of children
and youth."

"What I love the
best about your website is it is an excellent tool for minorities to utilize
in seeking employment with companies that are looking for top minority talent.

"I have seen how
Break-Thru has grown over the years. I'm impressed with how it's becoming a
one stop portal for students, alumni, and organizations seeking talent of color. Most
importantly, I have been impressed with the caliber of resumes sourced through this
site."

"Actually, the
results speak for themselves. We ran a 3 month campaign and we're able to deliver
over 3 Million media impressions and we captured over 10,000 leads for our new
customizable boot campaign! Now we can market to the folks that indicated interest in
our products for months, even years to come. Our relationship with Break-Thru was a
perfect example of an excellent ROI!"
