HBCUs are key incubators for Black business owners, and I know this from personal experience! Love this @Forbes piece exploring this wonderful phenomenon and highlighting inspiring Black entrepreneurs' work.

Amazing! Congrats to Florida A&M University, Rust College, Johnson C. Smith University, Shaw University and Voorhees College for receiving these important preservation grants. Let's get these funds to more campuses in the future!

This is a cool and innovative way to use emerging #EdTech, especially when compared to words on a screen. Interested to see students' feedback on this digital solution.

Wanted to share this as we celebrate both #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth! Consistently showing up for women, and particularly Black women, is the only way we can truly reach an inclusive and equal future.

Hampton University will be the first HBCU to join Delta’s Propel Collegiate Pilot Career Path Program, which makes this exciting new partnership the first to train the next generation of Black pilots. Love to see this collaboration to drive diversity!

Always great to see features of inspiring & successful Black entrepreneurs. NC A&T alum Bilal Issifou founded Unchained Inc after witnessing and experiencing firsthand the struggle for HBCU students to find career opportunities within their desired field.

This is a great read on the value that high-speed fiber networks can provide to data centers, particularly as cloud adoption grows across the industry and customer preferences shift with advancing technologies. #DataCenters #IT

At a time when Black graduates are twice as likely as White graduates to be unemployed after college, it's essential that college career services departments improve how they support these student populations. Nice strategies here from @DiverseEducation.

Excellent takeaways from this @DiverseIssues piece. Love to see greater collaboration across HBCUs and community colleges to further support minority and economically challenged student populations. This is an important step towards educational equity.

This is so cool! Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design, Detroit's recently reopened HBCU, is joining forces with Designer Brands Inc. to open the "first Black-owned shoe factory in the US," creating exciting new opportunities for Black designers.

Acts of kindness can have an amazing domino effect. Excited to see how this impacts HBCUs across the nation.

Alumni giving is on the rise. So is the share of charitable gifts with no strings attached, thanks largely to the billions MacKenzie Scott donated to HBCUs, tribal colleges and community colleges. bit.ly/3BsMqwi
Without Dr. Patricia Bath's "outsider perspective," we wouldn't be able to treat the thousands of cataracts cases experience today, demonstrating the clear importance of diversity in driving innovation. Love this @mitsmr piece. #DEI

A new program in Virgina is combatting the #DigitalDivide by offering free technology classes, not to students but rather older adults! This is an often overlooked aspect of digital equity that needs more support. Glad to see it in this helpful form.

This @HarvardBiz article reveals that we've got a long way to go in creating strong pipelines of Black talent. This systemic issue can't be solved by just one individual, but rather a collection of dedicated leaders supported by organizational policies.

This is an excellent dive into the potential of HBCU students to emerge as an economic force in the renewable energy industries of the future, particularly since various institutions already provide the digital and technical skills needed. Love to see it!

Especially proud to be an @HarvardHBS alum. This is an outstanding initiative; congratulations to the chosen businesses.
