The university evaluates applicants on technical acumen, leadership potential, and community engagement. It also leverages predictive analytics and personalized engagement strategies, including partnerships with high schools and community colleges, as well as site visits for students and their families. “We’ve never needed policy to define

Robert Hill, a Howard student, uses AI as a tool to assist him in his academic life and believes that the negative views of AI stem from people’s doubt that they are able to control AI. “In all reality, I feel that AI is a tool that is controlled by a person, so the

Saint Augustine’s Backs Trump’s Higher Ed Compact Amid Crisis

Saint Augustine’s University (SAU) is the first HBCU to publicly support the Trump administration’s Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education. As Campus Reform pointed out, Ivy League schools such as Brown and Dartmouth have rejected the compact, and many other schools remain undecided.
