Description:
CCPH’s HBCU Coalition is designed to support, connect and spotlight HBCUs as they work to eliminate health disparities through research, student services, education, and community partnerships.
This month’s Coalition meeting will focus on “How HBCUs are Shaping the Future of Health through Funding and Workforce Development.” Participants will hear from subject matter experts through pop up presentations, have opportunities to share their own experiences and expertise in breakout sessions and have the opportunity to network throughout the program.
Join us for this online in-depth discussion, co-learning, and networking with peers from across the country.
We are committed to creating a safe space for our HBCU Coalition Members and politely ask that all who register to attend this meeting are currently working at an HBCU or work closely with HBCUs. This will allow meeting participants to engage in deeper discussions about their unique challenges and needs and help folks foster community.
