Langston University Students Thrive at the 21st Annual National HBCU Business Deans Roundtable
September 17, 2024
I am beyond excited to share an incredible experience that two of our outstanding Langston University students, Delisa Carter and Gerald Martin, recently had at the 21st Annual National HBCU Business Deans Roundtable. In partnership with Educational Testing Services (ETS), this prestigious event was an all-expenses-paid opportunity that brought together over 90 students, 42 deans, and numerous professionals from 45 HBCUs nationwide.
Delisa Carter, a senior business major, beautifully expressed the transformative impact of the summit, noting how the experience was instructive and uplifting. She connected with peers and professionals, building relationships supporting her personal and professional growth. Gerald Martin, representing Langston University for the first time, shared how this event opened many doors for him, providing invaluable networking opportunities and insights into the business world.
I am incredibly proud of Delisa and Gerald for gracefully and professionally representing our Langston Lions. Their experiences at the summit underscore the importance of providing our students with opportunities beyond the classroom. This event enriched their academic journey and prepared them for their future careers by offering real-world insights and connections.
As the Dean of the School of Business, I aim to ensure that all our students have access to such valuable experiences. By investing in these opportunities, we are shaping the next generation of well-equipped leaders to excel in any professional environment they choose.
Opportunities like the HBCU Business Deans Roundtable are critical in preparing our students for future challenges, and I look forward to seeing more of our students thrive in similar settings. Congratulations to Delisa and Gerald for making us proud, and thank you for embodying the spirit of excellence that defines Langston University!
