White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (Initiative)

Contributions Brief 2017-20

A small group of five professionals, with a limited budget allocation ($130K) and a great platform to launch high-leverage HBCU activities, the Initiative is empowered by Executive Order 13779, The White House Initiative to Promote Excellence and Innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We are policy, program, and project entrepreneurs, turning over rocks to explore and execute new opportunities to advance HBCU competitiveness.

In the English language, there are few words more powerful than “with.” Quite simply, every contribution the Initiative has made since 2017 reflects collaboration with valued federal and nonfederal partners, and the national community of HBCU stakeholders. And this “power of with” led to improved performance and exceptional productivity in every area of the Initiative’s responsibility.

This Contributions Brief 2017-2020 is our expression of profound thanks and salute to partners and stakeholders for their support to deliver a meaningful term.

This public document will be available on the Initiative’s website located here:
