HBCU Symposium in Silicon Valley #2 -- March 2014

Last updated on Sunday 3/23/14 @ 9:45 pm - Eastern Daylight

In the Fall 2013 some HBCUs met in Silicon Valley under the auspices of UNCF to spur innovation and entrepreneurship by HBCUs in the kinds of entrepreneurial development of innovations that have made Silicon Valley America's most important center of high technology since the early 1960s, from Intel to Apple to Google to Facebook. In March 2014 fifteen HBCUs are holding a second symposium in Silicon Valley to build on the success of their first get-together. The second is described in the following article in Diverse issues (3/20/14):
Fortunately, some of the participants (and Internet observers) at both symposiums shared their comments on Twitter using the hashtag #hbcuinnovation. The following tweets have been posted under this hashtag so far in the last two days. Let's hope that more participants who are physically attending will post lots more tweets for the benefit of that those of us who can't attend ... :-)
