The HBCU Initiatives section highlights community-engaged projects and collaborative efforts developed in partnership with Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). These initiatives focus on applied research, data-informed storytelling, and community mapping approaches that support equity, wellness, and place-based understanding.
Projects featured here showcase student and faculty involvement in applied learning experiences, including workshops, mapping activities, and community-focused analyses. Each project reflects an effort to use data visualization and mapping tools to support education, public engagement, and local decision-making.
