 Kudos to the Shaw University Chicago Alumni Chapter for participating in the Chicago Football Classic HBCU College Fair and securing future Shaw Bears! Last month, Chapter members volunteered during the fair to recruit new students. By all accounts the event was a success, as the Chapter secured new applicants for the class of 2020 and 2021. Thank you Chicago Chapter for your continuous support!
