Women Leaders @ HBCU Conference 2024

The Women Leaders @ HBCU Conference aims to recharge women leaders who have dedicated their lives for the betterment of Historically Black Colleges and Universities across this nation. Daily, these leaders devise and execute ways in which students, staff, and faculty can emanate excellence across all facets of academia.

While this promotes growth and stimulates innovation, the heavy lifting often leaves these leaders looking for safe spaces to be rejuvenated. Seeing this need spurred the Women’s LeadHERship Institute to develop such a summit. Here, women leaders will find new strategies for daily challenges and the camaraderie among peers who will become a sacred sister network.
