The floor was then opened to the deans present in the webinar. Dr. David Yen, the dean of Texas Southern University’s School of Business, stressed the importance of HBCUs to address students’ needs as they come, particularly following the pandemic. He explained his hopes and ideas for the school as it progresses forward.

The topic was then turned again to the widening wealth gap, which Atlanta University’s Dr. Sivanus J. Udoka spoke on. Udoka believes that the best way to combat this disparity is through initiative of the black community to become business owners that promote higher employment. Another topic of conversation was the role HBCUs can play in Black female employment, which was discussed by Howard University’s Dr. Anthony Wilbon. With roughly 65 to 75 percent of the undergraduate students being female at the university, he stated that it’s especially important for female students to be able to see and recognize female leadership around them.
