Description
HBCUs were birthed out of necessity during America’s segregation period, giving black students a place of belonging in higher education. Today, they continue that mission while leading the charge in educating and promoting diverse, global-minded talent.
For instance, Rochelle L. Ford, Ph.D., APR, President of Dillard University, and her colleagues are sharing real life experiences through the reestablished National Center for Black-Jewish Relations.
Rochelle gives her passionate insight into how HBCUs are advancing our country — and the world — by actively bringing communities together in a polarizing climate.
