Announcing the 2026 HBCU Partnership!

The HBCU Partnership at ASU+GSV Summit is a collaborative effort dedicated to advancing equity, opportunity, and access within the education and innovation ecosystems. With a focus on creating agency, exposing pathways, and making intentional connections, this initiative empowers HBCU students to lead, define, and shape the future of education innovation.

By cultivating a robust pipeline of future innovators and leaders, the program provides invaluable learning experiences through firsthand exposure at the ASU+GSV Summit, year-round engagement through virtual programming, job shadowing with leading EdTech companies, and mentorship.

‍This initiative not only promotes professional growth and economic mobility but also strengthens our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive future for education and innovation.

As we build on this foundation, we’re proud to announce the HBCU Partnership Advisory Board and Ambassadors: an assembly of dedicated partners in impact who will help steward and guide this long-term commitment to equity, access, and economic mobility.
