5th Annual HHX Logo

The purpose of the Hip-Hop TRiO Student X-Change is to establish a common ground where students can learn and discuss the importance of education and identify higher education as a means to eliminate barriers to problems associated with socio-economic status and cultural diversity.

This program is sponsored and supported by the TRiO Programs (Education Talent Search, Rural Talent Search, Upward Bound) at Texas State.   Set in a conference themed style, high school students learn about Texas State, the importance of a college education, professionalism, and hip hop culture from Texas State student leaders in workshops and panel discussions.  Texas State Hip Hop Congress coordinates this program.  Each year 100-150 high school students from Central Texas attend this program.

The next Hip Hop TRiO Student X-Change is set for February 27, 2010 in the LBJ Student Center.
