Hyatt Centric/Caption - Official Golden Lions Host Hotel for the 35th Southern Heritage Classic

The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) and the UAPB/AM&N Memphis Alumni Chapter are excited to announce the official UAPB Golden Lions host hotel for the 35th Southern Heritage Classic (SHC), the Hyatt Centric/Caption.  This hotel is just steps from the historic and legendary Beale Street.  Nestled in the heart of downtown Memphis, the luxurious 5-star hotel is within walking distance from the city’s legendary blues clubs, barbecue restaurants, and historic civil rights past and authentic blues music. The SHC is a weekend-long event on September 12-14, 2024 in Memphis, TN.

The Classic is not just a game or a kick-off to the HBCU football season. It’s a platform where our presence can make a significant difference. By attending the Classic, we can create incredible opportunities for UAPB. Our presence will enhance the visibility of the university’s educational, athletic, and career opportunities in the Tennessee-Mississippii-Arkansas areas and underscore the strength and unity of our Golden Lion alumni, faculty, staff, students, and supporters. 

Moreover, the Classic presents a golden opportunity for the Golden Lion Nation to network and forge partnerships with companies and individuals. These connections can pave the way for financial support and scholarship programs, business case competitions, mentorship, networking, and student internship opportunities. The potential for mutually beneficial collaborations is immense, and we invite you to be a part of this exciting journey.
