 In the quest to unlock the full potential of Black entrepreneurship, visionary leaders at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are spearheading a transformative initiative. With figures like Dean Bo, Executive Director of the HBCU Round Table, and esteemed academics like Provost Harvey and Dr. Joanne Ro at the helm, the creation of an Entrepreneurship Education Institute is underway. This groundbreaking endeavor aims to address systemic constraints and empower individuals to start and run successful businesses, fostering economic growth and social upliftment.


The initiative underscores a major call to action, emphasizing the need for increased participation in entrepreneurship education among HBCU students. By equipping individuals with the tools and resources to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape, the Institute seeks to bridge the gap between education and opportunity.
