Proud to host our fourth annual Octagon HBCU Career Accelerator Program. ✅ 🙌 The unique initiative, led by Octagon’s Inclusive Diversity Team, offers students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) an inside look at careers within sports and entertainment, talent representation and marketing, and the chance to learn from industry-leading executives across Octagon’s global offices and divisions. This year’s program culminated with team programming and presentations in our McLean, Va. office, as well as a group outing to visit with the Washington Spirit and see the team in action in D.C. Thank you to the spirit!
