Bowling Green Technical College teamed up with State Street Baptist Church for the Super Sunday event.

"It's never too late to get a college education," says Wendell Cook, a prospective student.

The message resonating with several church members, including one man, who wants to get back into the game.

"A lot of jobs today require you to have a four year degree to get the type of job you want and type of income you want to support your family," says Cook.

The President of Bowling Green Technical College says within the next few years, the need for a higher level of education, beyond high school, is going to increase.

He says in order for African Americans to be successful in life and the workplace, they should gain the necessary skills needed to do so, whether that be through an associate's or bachelor's degree.

"If a person completes an associate degree, there salary over a complete work career will amount to several hundred thousands of dollars more than if they only graduated from high school," says Dr. Nathan Hodges, the President of BGTC.

An African American administrator and alum of BGTC says college really helped her succeed.

"The skills I already had, they really enhanced on those skills," says Sherita Clark, an Administrative Assistant and alum of BGTC.

She, along with Reverend Fred Brown, hope events like Super Sunday help.

"To try to encourage young people to see the opportunity present and to try to take advantage of that opportunity," says Fred Brown, the Senior Pastor at State Street Baptist Church.

BGTC also says they have increased the number of African Americans enrolled in their college by 100 to 600 students over a six year span.

They hope those numbers keep increasing.

All in all, the staff at BGTC and the clergy at State Street Baptist Church believe it's important for our African American youth to get a college education.
