A Fireside Chat with Daryl A. Graham, SVP, HBCU & Engagement, Strada Education Foundation  

December 7, 2023 | Format: Online | Program Type: Fireside Chat

Visionary Leadership. Transformative Outcomes. 

We are thrilled to welcome Daryl A. Graham, SVP HBCU and Engagement, Strada Education Foundation, to share his vision and roadmap for furthering purposeful connections between education and the workforce at Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCUs). In his tenure, Graham has been at the forefront of developing initiatives at Strada that preserve, highlight, and advance HBCUs' transformative economic, social, educational, and cultural influence – namely his work forging connections between prominent employers and future generations of graduates. His leadership builds upon the storied reputation of excellence and optimal student outcomes that HBCUs offer and aligns with Strada’s commitment to supporting the unique headwinds these institutions have faced and will face in the years to come.

In this intimate conversation with Mentor Collective's Chief Product Officer, we’re looking forward to hearing Daryl’s perspective on how pathways to economic mobility are being fortified through long-term alumni and workforce collaborations and how Strada’s monumental $25 million grant awarded to 28 HBCUs is part of a larger commitment to ensuring students have the tools and opportunities to reach their fullest potential.
