Fortitude in the Face of Change

Save the Date for the 2026 ACHA HBCU Coalition Summit!

 

We are excited to share that the 2026 HBCU Coalition Summit will be held at Howard University in Washington DC,  March 26–27, 2026.

The summit will bring together student health leaders, faculty, clinicians, researchers, and partners dedicated to improving health outcomes and strengthening campus wellness ecosystems. Through collaboration and knowledge-sharing, we aim to highlight best practices, emerging research, and sustainable strategies that empower HBCUs to thrive amid change.

As HBCUs continue to navigate change with strength and unity, this summit offers an opportunity to celebrate our fortitude and to share solutions that ensure the health and vitality of our students, campuses, and communities. Together, we are truly stronger.
