WELCOME TO THE 2025 WINTER ISSUE OF HBCU TIMES MAGAZINE! This issue celebrates the remarkable achievements, inspiring journeys, and transformative power of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Our theme, “HBCUs: Thriving in a New Era,” highlights how our institutions continue to lead boldly, adapting to change and forging a path of innovation, resilience, and excellence. We are proud to share the story of Kinna Thomas, Vice President of Merchandising Operations at CVS and a proud Lane College alumna. Dr. Glenda Glover, who recently retired after a groundbreaking tenure as President of Tennessee State University, reflects on her legacy of transformational leadership and the next chapter of her remarkable journey. We explore the elevation of Claflin University through its visionary leader, President Dwaun Warmack, and celebrate the monumental 80th anniversary of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) with insights from its President and CEO, Dr. Michael Lomax.
