ARE YOU READY TO BE THE NEXT LEADER?
The Next Generation of Higher Education Leaders
The modern HBCU is a complex and multi-dimensional teaching, learning and workplace environment. Effective leadership at HBCUs requires the skill of well-trained practitioners and academicians capable of expertly managing a range of persistent challenges, notably, declining enrollments, budget cuts, eroding public trust, fiscal limitations and aging infrastructures and physical plants. Simultaneously, HBCU leaders are increasingly called to reframe the narrative surrounding the relevance and effectiveness of historically black colleges and universities.
