Why It’s Important to Celebrate HBCUs Excellence

Posted By: Hija Chang on June 22, 2016 by Dr. Larry Walker Recently several articles have been written on the importance and obstacles HBCUs encounter. For instance, my colleagues and I wrote an article titled, “Changing the Narrative About HBCUs Value Proposition” in which we challenged deficit narratives. In the article, we highlighted the findings from a Gallup study that concluded that HBCU graduates continue to excel after college. According to the study, “HBCU graduates are more likely to be thriving in purpose and financial well-being than black graduates who did not receive their degrees from HBCUs.” The findings are significant and support prior research that found that students benefit from an environment that focuses on communalism and cultural pride. Students thrive because HBCUs offer each student deep connections that cannot be replicated at other post-secondary institutions. Continued: http://hbculifestyle.com/celebrate-hbcus-e...
