 Historically Black Colleges & Universities SIG Update
Last week we held our initial meet & greet where we were able to discuss the current status of HBCUs as well as goals that we would like to see accomplished as a group & organization. Our upcoming meetings will be focused on strategies to increase HBCU membership in PCACAC as well as spotlighting HBCUs that support students in our region. As always, we welcome all who would like to be apart of this initiative to provide support to our HBCUs and expose our students to the great opportunities on these campuses! If you are interested in getting involved or have any questions, please contact Michael Walden.
