Hooda Brown Dawson, a proud HBCU alumna, has officially set a Guinness World Record for the fastest seven continent dive, marking a historic achievement in the global diving community and bringing recognition to her HBCU roots.

Dawson's record-breaking accomplishment showcases not only her personal dedication and skill but also highlights the excellence that emerges from the HBCU experience.

This achievement reflects the determination and excellence that characterizes many HBCU graduates who continue to break barriers and set new standards in their respective fields.

The Guinness World Record certification represents official recognition of Dawson's extraordinary accomplishment and places her name in the record books alongside other history-making achievers. Her success story adds to the rich legacy of HBCU alumni who have made significant contributions across various industries and disciplines worldwide.

As HBCUs continue to produce graduates who excel in diverse fields—from science and technology to arts and athletics—Dawson's record serves as a powerful reminder of the limitless potential fostered at these historic institutions. Her achievement underscores the global impact and reach of HBCU education and the adventurous spirit of its alumni community.
