Dear Higher Education Leadership Foundation Beta Cohort:
On behalf of our Board of Trustees, Administration, faculty, staff and 1300 students, we welcome you beneath “Thy Maples and Thy Oaks”! As President and CEO of this historic institution, welcome to the city of Salisbury, home to Livingstone College.
It is indeed a noble vision of the Higher Education Leadership Foundation (H.E.L.F.) to prepare principled, highly skilled, transformational leaders in higher education with an interest in assuming positions of leadership at the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and one I believe wholeheartedly in personally.
Transformational leadership is the order of the day and as such, if the demands, formidable challenges and exponentially evolutionary changes in higher education are to be met, our institutions must rise to the challenge of cultivating and enhancing leaders to meet those challenges.
I offer a special thanks to the H.E.L.F team. I often remind the internal and external constituents of Livingstone College, “Love is not verbal, it is action”. You have demonstrated your love for the greater good of HBCUs, as such, you should be commended. To the Beta Cohort Fellows, I pray the selfless, yet valiant leadership of H.E.L.F. will be appreciated by each of you as you convene for the next several days. Congratulations on your participation as an H.E.L.F. Beta Cohort Fellow.
In service,
Jimmy R. Jenkins, Sr.Livingstone College, 12th President

Dear Beta Cohort Fellows,
It is with pleasure that we extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to the members of the Beta Cohort on the occasion of the 2015 Higher Education Leadership Institute. We are honored that you have joined this gathering of scholars and administrators who have declared their commitment to a vibrant future for this nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). We invite you to participate in and contribute to this important conversation about HBCUs and your role in leading these institutions in the 21st century.
We gather with intentionality and purpose to bring our best thinking to fully and deeply understanding the nuances and complexity of leadership while critically examining our professional paths. The most exciting and challenging aspects of e ective leadership exist at the nexus of individual vocation and institutional mission. The Institute has been conceived as a safe space for engaging those questions in the company of like-minded peers and colleagues.
The Institute program has been designed to encourage conversations about leadership at our institutions while simultaneously crafting pragmatic next steps to sustain these initial connections. We have invited seasoned presidents to share their wisdom and perspective and we pause to acknowledge and honor one whose work has contributed mightily to sustaining our institutions. We further recognize that leadership is far from one dimensional and requires a rich and varied toolbox of skills and talents, many of which may be developed and cultivated. In truth, your work begins here and the Higher Education Leadership Foundation (H.E.L.F.), Inc. is committed to creating opportunities to support the continuation of the community of practitioners, scholars and administrators formed over these next several days.
It is our sincere hope that you leave the 2015 Higher Education Leadership Institute with a renewed sense of purpose, confidence and commitment to the important work ahead. Together we will change the prevailing narrative about the future of HBCUs and unleash the power within these magnificent institutions. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Regards,Dr. George T. French, Jr. Founding Director
LEAD.INSPIRE.LIFT.
HBCUs represent a rich history and legacy of educational excellence and are a valuable segment of American higher education. In recent years, these national treasures have collectively experienced considerable threats to their existence. As a result, it is critical that the next generation of senior administrators receive the necessary training and support to become strong, visionary and transformational leaders. Without question, HBCUs would benefit from more stable leadership prepared to meet the needs of 21st century learners and the challenges and opportunities facing all institutions of higher education. Developing a cadre of well-prepared and committed leaders must be intentional, strategic and thoughtful.
The Higher Education Leadership Foundation (H.E.L.F.) was established in March 2015 to provide bold, engaging and innovative learning and mentoring opportunities for current and aspiring leaders. At H.E.L.F., we endeavor to play a vital role in this mission by encouraging leaders to “lift as we climb” in order to ensure that HBCUs survive and thrive as national models of achievement.

Institute OverviewToday’s senior administrators require the skill of highly trained experts while doubling as extremely effective managers to face overwhelming challenges; declining enrollments, budget cuts, diminished philanthropic support, fiscal responsibilities and reframing the narrative surrounding the effectiveness and relevance of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Through this Leadership Institute, H.E.L.F. will expose participants to industry leaders who will share best practices rooted in empirical research and experience while providing opportunities for personal and professional development.
This Leadership Institute will address the role participants play as vital members in the decision making process at their respective institutions. Further, in an effort to produce principled leaders who will be instrumental in shaping the future of the nation’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs), the Leadership Institute will provide each participant with a core set of leadership tools H.E.L.F. deems essential in understanding and managing the hard and soft skills of leadership required to effectively guide an institution.
