When Programming Is Personal: The Development of the 2024 HBCU Summit
On November 18-21, the HBCU Summit will be held in Orlando, FL as a component of Online Learning Consortium (OLC) Accelerate 2024. When I (Maddie) was told that I’d be taking on the coordinator role for the Summit this year, I sought a bit of history of the Summit and its role in OLC’s community. Of OLC leadership, I asked: “What and who do we (the OLC) think the HBCU Summit is for? What and for whom does the HBCU community think the Summit is for?” In other words, I wanted to understand the what, the who, and the how, so that I could assess the ways in which the HBCU Summit does (and does not) serve the HBCU community.
