Across Southern Company, our journey to propel historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) is moving boldly forward. Amplifying, investing in and collaborating with HBCUs allows us to create space and opportunities for students of today to become leaders of tomorrow.
In observance of Black History Month, Mark Berry, senior vice president of research and development for Southern Company Services, moderated a conversation with Bobbie Knight, president of Miles College, and Tony Allen, president of Delaware State University, to offer insight about the impact investments from companies like Southern Company are having on these institutions as well as share how HBCUs are cultivating Black leaders.
