Ahead of the Curve: Positioning HBCU Students to Lead in Public Service. By 2050, the US will be a majority- minority nation, however, our public and private institutions will not reflect that diversity unless we take action today. Breaking into public service and working on the Hill has historically been available mainly to the privileged and connected but HBCU graduates can get ahead of the curve. This session will reveal the combination of education and experience necessary to create a more reflective and effective democracy. Students will leave with a career-plan for entering public service.
