President Williams Celebrates HBCU Week

President and First Lady Williams attended the National HBCU Conference from September 24-28. Inspired by the theme Raising The Bar: Forging Excellence through Innovation and Leadership, CBS News invited President Williams in-studio to talk about what’s happening on campus and his bold vision for Hampton University.

President and First Lady Williams also met the 30th President of Harvard Unviersity, Dr. Claudine Gay, at the HBCU Week luncheon. Dr. Gay is the first Black woman to have the position.

They also met with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, author of Stony the Road and host of the PBS series Finding Your Roots. Hosted by the Department of Education, HBCU Week was a great opportunity for critical discussions and collaborations.
