Innovating Hope: Maximizing HBCU and State Government Partnerships

This will be an extensive conversation on the current state of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) leadership and the importance of HBCUs in this decade. Building upon recent discussions on the level of federal support for HBCUs, particularly 1890 Universities, this event will further examine the relationship these state-level institutions have with state governments.

As policymakers tackle funding and policy decisions, we ask, “what is the relationship like with state governments?” Panelists and participants will explore questions including:

• How do HBCUs innovate, and how do 1890 HBCU institutions plan for and manage their future?
• How do we expand the HBCU talent pipeline to state governments and state legislatures?
• How do 1890 institutions manage relationships with and secure funding from state governments?

In particular, participants will study recent examples provided by the states of Maryland and Tennessee.
