Williams was selected for the prestigious U.S. Department of Education White House Initiative on Advancing Equity, Educational Excellence and Economic Opportunity through the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Scholar Recognition Program.
“I feel HBCUs have always fought against the ideas of doing more with less, so it was beyond inspiring to be around students who have plans to maximize what we have as HBCUs and construct plans moving forward to make sure HBCUs are properly funded and respected,” said Williams
The HBCU Scholar program honors outstanding student leaders who exemplify academic achievement, campus involvement, civic engagement and entrepreneurial spirit.
