This issue of ETS Policy Notes provides highlights from the second in a planned series of conferences jointly convened by the National Urban League (NUL) and Educational Testing Service (ETS) to foster collaboration among, and further the mission of, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). On October 24-25, 2018, 65 presidents and representatives of HBCUs, leading associations, research organizations and civil rights organizations came together to brainstorm and strategize about strengthening the role of HBCUs in U.S. higher education and the new economy. Michael Nettles, Senior Vice President at ETS, described this meeting as an opportunity to "reflect on the historic strength of HBCUs while also challenging ourselves to prosper in the future." Topics included funding sources and strategies; leveraging federal funds for student access and completion; leveraging federal financing to institutions; meeting demand through distance education and alternate delivery; preparing teachers for 21st-century classrooms; and collaboration partnerships.
