Two veteran leaders of higher education say a new executive leadership program will equip future leaders of historically Black colleges and universities with the resources and support to excel.

“It is a pivotal moment in our history, a time for a new president to come in to achieve new stability,” said Dr. Phyllis Worthy Dawkins, the lead consultant on curriculum development for the HBCU Executive Leadership Institute (ELI).

Dawkins, former president of the all-women’s liberal arts institution Bennett College, and Clark Atlanta University President Dr. George T. French were guests on Friday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
