Several historically Black colleges and universities have signed a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education in Brazil. The agreement calls for increased cooperation and exchanges between the HBCUs and universities in Brazil.
Participating HBCUs are Hampton University, Howard University, North Carolina A&T State University, and Morgan State University. T. Joan Robinson, provost and vice president for academic affairs at Morgan State University, is serving as chair of the HBCU-Brazil Alliance.
