The ASU+GSV Conference was definitely one for the record books! My 5 biggest takeaways?
• Network = strategy, not just support
• HBCU faculty must be at every table
• Culture is pedagogy, not decoration
• Black founders are building legacy, not hype
• Joy + justice = the future of education
• Network = strategy, not just support
• HBCU faculty must be at every table
• Culture is pedagogy, not decoration
• Black founders are building legacy, not hype
• Joy + justice = the future of education
