"Most parents have wonderful hopes for their children but don’t know all the ins and outs of college. Super Saturday provides the missing piece of the puzzle for parents because it’s all inclusive information and guidance on how to gain admissions."
--Pastor La Roya Jordan, Faithful Central Church
"Super Saturday signals the willingness of the university to open its doors to our communities. This event allows young people to set foot on a university campus and find out all about the wonderful things available to them, so they can say ‘yes we can make this happen.' "
--Reverend Clyde W. Oden, Bryant Temple AME Church
