April 14, Wilmington, N.C.: Eleven Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) will sign the N.C. Study Abroad/Global Engagement (SAGE) Consortium agreement which will facilitate the internationalization of their collective campus’s curricula on the deck of the Freedom Schooner Amistad on April 21 at 109 N.

“The signing of this agreement means, North Carolina HBCUs have boldly taken the lead to privately collaborate and publicly demonstrate their commitment to expand academic capacity, via the impact of study abroad on student and professional outcomes as we prepare them for the next level, the global society” says Dr. Jimmy R.
