HBCUs at the Forefront: Driving Excellence and Economic Development

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have long been pillars of excellence, resilience, and social mobility. As the landscape of higher education shifts, how can HBCUs harness innovation to thrive over the next decade? This panel will explore bold new strategies and technologies that can drive sustainable growth, expand access, and enhance student outcomes. From digital transformation to economic development initiatives, we’ll examine how HBCUs can deepen community ties, foster entrepreneurship, and build holistic support systems that extend beyond the classroom.

Join thought leaders, innovators, and HBCU champions as we chart the course for a future where HBCUs not only endure but lead as hubs of creativity, opportunity, and transformative impact.
