When Richard Humphreys arrived in Philadelphia from the British Virgin Islands in 1764, he was still in his teens. But even then, the young Quaker was disturbed by the conditions facing African Americans in his new city. Like most adherents to Quaker principles, Humphrey was vocal in his opposition to slavery and donated freely to abolitionist causes. He was increasingly convinced that education was at least one key to improving lives for black Americans.

Birthed from the HBCU Freshman Cookout/Send-off, the Council recognized that the returning HBCU students equaled and/or outnumbered the new students for the fall. Thinking that every opportunity is an opportunity for engagement for continual and optimal growth of the organization, the concept of adopting a group of HBCU students from the Greater Cleveland area was in order. Much like how the Council, which was founded in July 1975 by Sylvester Reed, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute (now University), is a consortium of local alumni and supporters of the public and private Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Anthony H. Brown (Bethune-Cookman University), the sitting president for the 2016-18 term, thought to establish this student affiliate representing the same demographic of institutions. The Council would serve as a support system to this student body by providing students with opportunities of engagement throughout the year and during seasonal school break.
Through various initiatives, primarily led by the Young Alumni Council, the (CCBCAA) Inter-Collegiate Pre-Alumni Council would:
Serve as an extended collegiate family for students;
Support activities of the Council that relate to student recruitment, advocacy, fundraising and development;
Participate in annual activities during seasonal school breaks; and
Develop a pipeline for and to build connections for careers, volunteer opportunities and further support local alumni association membership and engagement.
