TM2 Executive Search, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, successfully supported the Benedict College Board of Trustees in identifying and selecting Dr. Roslyn Artis to become the 14th President of Benedict College.
TM2 Executive Search President Chris Braswell joins us to discuss the difficult truths, challenges, and opportunities in HBCU presidential search culture.
“Companies should work with departments at the school and develop relationships with them — similarly to how Google is working with computer science departments.”
“As an organization that partners with businesses to create pipelines of diverse talent, we understand that addressing diversity over the long run requires sustained commitment and support, and TMCF is uniquely positioned to work with corporations to efficiently move beyond the “usual suspects” to engage a deeper pool of talent because America’s HBCUs can be part of the solution.”
“The reality is that people who decided that one statement, an error, is a statement about her commitment and knowledge about HBCUs — it’s not realistic, it’s not fair.”
The Thurgood Marshall Fund (TMCF) received $500,000 from Lowe’s for the TMCF | Lowe’s Gap Scholarship, which has provided over $1.2 million to graduating seniors at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) since 2012.
