To highlight, The CUNY SEEK program (Search for Education, Elevation, and Knowledge) has been a vital pathway to higher education started by Black and Puerto Rican students organizers recently celebrating 58 years (1966) of fostering academic success and personal growth. As a former SEEK participant, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of this program, which was designed to level the playing field in a society where educational opportunities are often unequal. The recent overturning of affirmative action highlights the ongoing struggle for equal access to education, underscoring the need to continue advocating for all students, regardless of their background. Capitalism plays a complex role in granting access to education and resources. While it drives innovation and economic growth, it also exacerbates inequalities by prioritizing profit over equitable opportunities. The commodification of education places a price tag on knowledge, making it accessible only to those who can afford it. As we move forward, it is crucial to challenge these systemic barriers and ensure that programs like SEEK continue to provide access and support to marginalized communities, helping them break through the economic and social limitations. #seekprogram #education

Huston-Tillotson University (HT) recently unveiled its strategic plan for the next decade.  Approved by the HT Board of Trustees, the plan, titled “From First to Foremost: Huston-Tillotson University 2024-2034,” is the culmination of an inclusive process that spanned several months and included the gathering of input from representatives of several key stakeholder groups, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, donors, community and business leaders and local elected officials. “Our 10-year plan establishes a clear, long-term vision for HT,” said Melva K. Wallace, who is completing her second year as the university’s 7th president. “It is the blueprint that we will use during the next ten years to solidify our position not only as a premier historically Black university, but as a top institution of higher education in the state of Texas. It sets a focused direction for the 149-year old institution by reinforcing its commitment to Austin and all of the communities it serves, implementing strategic initiatives that reflects HT’s strengths, and underscoring its mission to provide excellent educational opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds, and becoming a major contributor to Austin’s workforce demands and the Texas marketplace.” Click the link below to read more to to access the strategic plan. https://lnkd.in/gVPAJmm3 #HTYou #FromFirstToForemost
