Harris-Stowe President Receives Board Appointment from the Obama Administration

Dr. Henry Givens Jr., president of Harris-Stowe State University, has been appointed by the Obama administration to serve on the White House Initiative of Historically Black Colleges and Universities’ (HBCU) Capital Financing Advisory Board. The appointment, which is effective immediately, ends on September 30, 2013.


The board provides advice and counsel to the U.S. Secretary of Education and the designated bonding authority regarding the most effective and efficient means of implementing construction financing for HBCU campuses. In addition, it advises members of Congress on the progress of the program.


“I am tremendously honored to serve on such a prestigious board with distinguished college and university presidents and others representing HBCUs throughout the nation,” said Dr. Givens.
