CHEVROLET AND NNPA EXTEND THEIR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ‘DISCOVER THE UNEXPECTED’ PROGRAM

The NNPA (National Newspaper Publishers Association) and Chevrolet are entering their sixth year of working together through the “Discover the Unexpected” program. This program, along with the program ambassador, Terrence Jenkins (also known as Terrence J), provides HBCU students with internships, scholarships, and stipends to further their experience in marketing and journalism.

Terrence Jenkins, a famous American actor, entertainer, and model, spoke of the program with high regard, saying, “As a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University with a mass communication degree, I understand the value of historically black colleges and universities, which is why I am passionate about this opportunity and eager to engage with up-and-coming HBCU students pursuing journalism and marketing.”

The “Discover the Unexpected” program gives 11 students scholarships and internships to “explore marketing roles focused on General Motors’ vision for an all-electric future…”. Five of these students were placed in marketing positions within the Chevrolet company, and six were placed by NNPA in renowned publications all over the country.

Steve Majoros, the vice president of Chevrolet Marketing, said, “Chevrolet is proud to continue its collaboration with NNPA on Discover the Unexpected, providing HBCU students hands on learning and development opportunities in addition to a platform to share their experiences.” The NNPA President and CEO, Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., also said, “Over the last five decades, we’ve championed diversity, equity, and inclusion because we know representation matters. The publishers and DTU fellows richly benefit from Chevrolet’s commitment to fuel the next generation of journalists and marketers.”
