The HBCU Calendar is now functional and can be accessed via the right-most tab at the top of the blog window on this page. It will display major academic events at HBCUs and related organizations -- conferences, workshops, commencements, etc.  A link to the calendar will also be found in each edition of the DLL's "Weekly Dozens" magazine at the beginning of the "events" section. All events listed in the magazine will be more fully specified on the calendar.

Readers note -- Completion of "HBCU Lists & Profiles, Version 1.0"

Last updated: Tuesday 4/29/14 @ 2:04 pm

Data entry for the dashboard for Version 1.0, i.e., the first five columns of the table of the revised HBCU Profiles, was completed today (4/29/14). This includes HBCU Names and links to Websites (col 1), state (col 2), type of HBCU (col 3), links to online programs, if any (col 4), and Twitter handles & hashtags (col 5).  Some Twitter handles could not be discovered ... yet, so we'll keep checking from time to time. Only a few hashtags have been entered, but more will be added as we become more confident as to which hashtags are really used by which HBCUs.
