Strengthening the Academic Pipeline for HBCU Students

January 21, 2026

Travis J. Bristol and Tolani Britton, both faculty affiliates of the Center for Research on Social Change, received a three-year UC-HBCU Initiative grant to bring six HBCU students to UC Berkeley each year for a research immersion at the Center for Research on Expanding Educational Opportunity (CREEO) in the Berkeley School of Education. As part of this collaboration, students in the UCB CREEO-HBCU Program will participate in ISSI's Summer Qualitative Methods Workshop each year, strengthening their research training and preparation for doctoral study.
