UNCF’s holistic, powerful study, “Transforming Futures: The Economic Engine of HBCUs,” makes it clear: HBCUs are economic engines in their Georgia communities and beyond, generating substantial economic returns year after year.
HBCU faculty, employees and students produce—and consume—a wide range of goods and services, creating economic activity on and beyond campus. The result? More jobs, stronger growth and increasingly vibrant communities. Meanwhile, Georgia’s workforce is bolstered by a steady supply of highly trained and success-oriented HBCU graduates.
