The HBCU Sector Today
“HBCUs are hubs of thought leadership and produce the best and the brightest Black leaders.”
“…we intend to play a vital role in this mission by encouraging leaders to “lift as they climb” in order to ensure that HBCUs survive and thrive as national models of achievement.”
HELF is guided by a set of core values which undergird the work of the Foundation and affirms our commitment to aspiring leaders and historically black colleges and universities.
What’s the purpose?
We’re inviting dreamers, critical thinkers, and thought leaders in the public and private sector, to grapple with the imminent question…
What does sustainability and self-agency look like for all HBCUs?
