*Sincere apologies that this newsletter didn't go out in June, as planned. Let's travel back in time and keep celebrating the things we honored last month!*

During this momentous time of Juneteenth, Pride Month, and National Caribbean American Month, we join together in celebration and gratitude.

The HBCU Resource Collection

This month, we are reading The HBCU Resource Collection. The purpose of this three-part collection is to delve into the intricate and essential processes undertaken by select Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as they assess, frame, and collaborate to implement best practices in order to maximize the effectiveness of academic advising for their students. By exploring the distinct approaches employed by these institutions, we aim to highlight the complementary strategies that contribute to the overall success of advising initiatives within the HBCU community.

Mission

Our mission is to help institutions build a culture of student success, with a focus on Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, and Pacific Islander students, and poverty-affected students, by identifying, building, and scaling equitable and holistic advising solutions that support all facets of the student experience.

Vision

Our vision is a higher education landscape that has eliminated race and income as predictors of student success through a reformed approach to advising, in which all students are supported through a seamless, personalized postsecondary experience that creates better personal, academic, and professional outcomes.
