On February 3rd, 2016, The Office of Diversity and Inclusion hosted a Black History Month Kick-Off with special guest Eddie Francis. Eddie Francis is an award-winning mass media veteran and HBCU/Black Greek Life advocate.
Students were engaged in a dialogue as they explored the impact the media has on historically black colleges. Students were reminded of the importance of self-belief in higher education, goal-setting, inclusion, and the importance of overlooked history. Eddie Francis also emphasized that it is crucial for students to take ownership of their identity, and the responsibility of correcting the misinterpretation of others in history.
