The Strada HBCU Leadership Summit brings together Strada Scholars and HBCU leaders to connect and build community with their peers.
The annual Strada HBCU Leadership Summit brings together Strada Scholars, HBCU presidents and chancellors, and other leaders to network, learn from one another, and build a community that strengthens the impact of HBCUs. The event is open to all HBCUs participating in the Strada HBCU Initiative, and the inaugural summit took place in September 2022 in Atlanta and included dozens of Strada Scholars and their institutional leaders.
Partnering with HBCUs helps more students achieve better outcomes for themselves, their families, and their communities.
