Dr. Lisa Long, acting president of Talladega College, said that this partnership would provide students with the necessary skills to become more adept in the vastly growing world of technology.
“Our mission is to equip our graduates for the global community through academic excellence, moral values, community service, and professional development; EON-XR has assisted us in holding true to that promise,” she added.
EON-XR’s goal is to ensure that individuals become leading industry-specific contributors to the global project, creating and disseminating lessons and experiences in many academic disciplines for other HBCUs and institutions of higher learning worldwide.
According to Dan Lejerska, founder of EON-XR, partnering with Talladega College will demonstrate the company’s impact on liberal arts institutions and serve as an example to other HBCUs looking to join the metaverse.
