The Howard University School of Business has announced the launch of Howard University’s first Center for Digital Business, created with support of a donation from CRM platform, Hubspot.
The donation will support the creation and management of the Center for Digital Business as well as educational offerings for the next five years. Howard University has been a premier institute for higher education within the Historically Black Colleges and University (HBCU) circuit, especially within the school of business.
The Center for Digital Business will provide a multipurpose space within the School of Business to help students further in collaboration and innovation. The Center will focus on three key areas for programming including, academic offerings, experiential learning opportunities and support for job readiness.
The School of Business is set to offer for-credit courses through the Center in the spring 2021 semester.
Andrew Lindsay, SVP of corporate business development at HubSpot said: “HubSpot and Howard University have a long-standing relationship that has included on-campus recruiting efforts and partnering in HubSpot’s Education Partner Programme. We value our relationship with Howard University tremendously and are excited to expand it. As a proud alumnus of Howard, HubSpot’s support to create a new Center for Digital Business is incredibly personal. At HubSpot, we feel that it’s vital for leading businesses to play an active role in the development of the next generation of Black business leaders, and this Center is just one key component of our commitment.”
