Stewarding The Legacy
For the first time in almost three decades, new research offers a comprehensive view of the competencies that define successful HBCU presidential leadership. This report draws on the most extensive quantitative study of HBCU presidential competencies, supported by national data on HBCU impact, economic contribution, and research productivity. Stewarding the Legacy offers survey data from 29 sitting presidents of public and private institutions during the 2024–2025, representing more than one third of all four-year public and private HBCUs nationwide. The findings highlight presidential strengths across leadership domains and provide insight into the relationship between tenure length, increased competencies and effectiveness.
