The HBCU Speakers Bureau and Research Magazine (HBCU SBRM) addresses the broad and discipline-specific issues and subjects that are both current and increasingly relevant in today’s world. Participants bring fresh ideas and research-based knowledge to the world of academia and to communities around the nation and the world. The on-line magazine allows faculty and associates additional opportunities to showcase their research through a variety of multi-media formats. Their disciplines address the health, economic, political, and social disparities among underserved populations, as well as broad national and global concerns.
