Department of State Exchange Program Connects African Universities with HBCUs
Media Note
October 4, 2024
In support of National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Week, the Department of State is strengthening educational partnerships between African universities and HBCUs through an International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) exchange.  
Participants of this professional exchange program include African higher education faculty, administrators, and government officials from 11 countries who are interested in internationalizing university campuses and strengthening and expanding higher education linkages with U.S. higher education institutions.  
During this program, participants attended the 2024 Annual National HBCU Week Conference in Philadelphia, PA, and met with leaders and representatives from universities and colleges, including community colleges, in Birmingham, AL and Atlanta, GA to discuss partnerships and nonprofit initiatives within the education sector, best practices in university governance, the legacy of HBCUs, and more.  This program concludes this week in Washington, D.C. with meetings exploring trends in U.S. higher education and efforts of the federal government to build international cooperation between educational institutions.
