UAPB Chancellor Anthony Graham joined Arkansas @repfrenchhill and North Carolina @repadams in Washington, DC last Thursday in support of their bipartisan IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act, legislation designed to strengthen historically Black colleges and universities through transformational investments in infrastructure, research, workforce development, entrepreneurship, and AI education.

As Arkansas’s only public 1890 land grant HBCU, the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff continues to advocate for investments that expand opportunity, strengthen innovation, and prepare students to lead in a rapidly changing economy.

“The IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act represents a critical investment in the future of historically Black colleges and universities and the students and communities we serve,” Chancellor Graham said. “Strengthening research capacity and modernizing infrastructure at HBCUs is essential to advancing workforce development, innovation, economic mobility, and the long-term competitiveness of our nation. We are grateful to Congressman Hill, Congresswoman Adams, and the bipartisan HBCU Caucus for their leadership and continued commitment to expanding opportunities for HBCUs across the country.”
