They\u2019re gearing up for a 10-week deep dive into the world of marketing and communications with Chevrolet in Detroit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">This immersive gig isn\u2019t just about coffee runs and photocopying. These fellows will create content and get up close and personal with the tech powering the auto industry. Plus, they\u2019ll team up with National Newspaper Publication Association (NNPA) journalists and Chevy marketing peeps, testing out the all-new 2024 Chevrolet Trax on a fantastic group road trip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">They\u2019ll also document their journey on social media because what\u2019s an adventure without some Instagram love, right? Chevy and the NNPA are hosting this hands-on experience for the seventh year, calling it Discover the Unexpected (DTU).<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">HBCU grads will mentor the students, sharing their pro tips and cheering them on every step of the way. Big names like the TV host, actor Terrence Jenkins, and STEM advocate Justin Shaifer are returning for their third year as DTU ambassadors. ESPN sports journalist and HBCU alum <\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Tiffany Greene will also join the mentorship crew.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000;\">Terrence J perfectly summed up the vibe: \u201cHaving support and opportunities during your college years is invaluable and will set you on a path of lifelong success. As a proud HBCU graduate, I am thrilled to collaborate with Chevrolet and the NNPA again to uplift the next generation of talented journalists, marketers, and content creators.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

Each team will have access to an all-new 2019 Chevrolet Blazer during their reporting assignments.<\/p><p>Launched in 2015 and now in its fourth year, the DTU program has awarded more than $330,000 in scholarships and stipends.<\/p><p>Initially, program participation was limited to students from Howard University, one of the nation\u2019s most prestigious HBCUs. However, based on the overwhelming response and success of the program, the online submission process was eventually expanded to include students from any of the nation\u2019s HBCUs in their sophomore through senior years with an interest in journalism, communications, mass media or visual arts.<\/p><p>\u201cOur partnership with the NNPA continues to provide a unique platform to connect with young and remarkable storytellers.\u201d said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet Marketing.<\/p><p>\u201cFrom the inaugural launch at Howard University to the inclusion of all the HBCUs, it\u2019s Chevrolet\u2019s pleasure to partner with members of the African American community, ensuring a legacy is established for generations to come,\u201d Edwards said.<\/p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to meet this year\u2019s group of Fellows and immerse them in all things Chevrolet,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>The NNPA \u201cis excited to partner with Chevrolet for another year in support of young journalists to amplify community voices across our country,\u201d said NNPA President and CEO Dr. Benjamin F.
