The number of Black men at HBCUs is at it's lowest since 1976. How do we restore belief and increase their enrollment at HBCUs? On All Things Considered from NPR, Calvin Hadley, Ph.D. from Howard University spoke about a recent analysis that Black men now account for 26% of HBCU enrollment, down from 38% in 1976. Calvin stated: "The education that you receive in an HBCU transcends the classroom experience. It transcends the relationship that you have with your professor. The education exists in between the lines of the pages. HBCUs inundate you with the sense of belief." 📊 Our social intelligence research highlights how alumni stories can powerfully convey the unique value of an HBCU education, inspiring prospective students to believe in the promise of these institutions. Our recommended strategies support campuses in leveraging outcomes-focused messaging to connect with prospective Black men and women, encourage enrollment, and uplift the next generation. 📚 Read the NPR article: https://lnkd.in/dsrEjzGT 💡 Get the research: https://lnkd.in/gW_CEpUj

"That's where social intelligence shines.... it's about truly understanding and meeting our communities where they are." 🌟 We agree, Scott Cline, Ed.D.

On Trusted Voices, Kevin R. McClure shares that it's one thing to tell a leader to go build trust—the hard part is understanding how to do it in practice, on your campus. The study Kevin and Jorge Burmicky, Ph.D. released surveyed college presidents on the leadership traits needed to succeed in today's challenging higher ed landscape. One of the traits was trust building, which included the critical skill of listening to and understanding the needs of stakeholders.
