The TBA International Law Section is proud to launch the HBCU Globalization Symposium, being held virtually October 13, 2020. The Symposium will bring together faculty, administrators, and practitioners from Nashville area HBCUs, and private practice law firms to explore how global programs — such as education outreach, medical research, and other types of international business engagement — can be leveraged to understand, develop, and implement HBCU globalization, and in turn spun economic growth both locally, and nationally in the United States.

This Symposium is a unique space, learn about best practices, and chart a path to increase capacity for internationalization and to create equitable access to the benefits of international research outreach, and economic growth.

HBCUs are an American asset, and the role of HBCUs in innovation and competitiveness is both historical, and essential. This will be a five-hour Symposium on HBCUs, the United States, and the global market, thereby exploring the areas of business, finance, health, and other essential factors in understanding, developing, and implementing globalization efforts benefiting employment, and culture development.
