Deloitte’s Center for Higher Education Excellence, in collaboration with Lumina Foundation, will virtually convene the higher education community for a wide-ranging discussion with a distinguished panel of HBCU leaders to explore what the new administration will mean for both public and private HBCUs. We’ll discuss: the administration’s policy agenda and what’s possible legislatively; what HBCUs can do in order to maximize the window of opportunity that’s opened; and the impact of having an HBCU graduate elected vice president; among other topics.
Deloitte’s Center for Higher Education Excellence focuses on groundbreaking research to help colleges and universities navigate these challenges and reimagine how they achieve innovation in every aspect of the future college campus: Teaching, learning, and research. Higher education institutions may confront a number of challenges, from dramatic shifts in sources of funding resulting from broader structural changes in the economy to demands for greater accountability at all levels to the imperative to increase effectiveness and efficiency through the adoption of modern technology. Through forums and immersive lab sessions, we engage the higher education community collaboratively on a transformative journey, exploring critical topics, overcoming constraints, and expanding the limits of the art of the possible.

Harold Lee Martin Sr., Ph.D., is the 12th chancellor of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, bringing more than 30 years of transformative leadership experience in higher education to the role. He is the first alumnus to serve as the university’s chief executive. Martin’s leadership has been distinguished by a focus on long-range strategic planning and tactical leadership that have dramatically improved North Carolina A&T’s standing among the nation’s land grant, doctoral research universities, as well as among historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU). The initial strategic plan implemented under Martin’s direction, “A&T Preeminence 2020: Embracing Our Past, Creating Our Future,” saw A&T expand research contract and grant funding, boost its status as one of North Carolina’s top three public research institutions, reorganize its colleges and academic programs, increase endowment holdings by 150% and become the nation’s largest HBCU. Having surpassed numerous goals in that plan three years ahead of schedule, Martin introduced a refreshed plan in 2018, “A&T Preeminence: Taking the Momentum to 2023,” which creates bold new aspirations in student success, affordability, enrollment, research, diversity and more.
