Colleges and universities
that explicitly state in their missions a commitment to serving Black
students and communities are commonly referred to as Historically Black
Colleges and Universities or HBCUs. These institutions play a
vital role in providing access and opportunity in higher education for
Black students.
These institutions
were important partners in the PFF programs. With their unique missions
and campus cultures, the HBCU partners allowed doctoral students to experience
faculty life in an environment very different from the one on their
research university campus.
