About the Program

The HBCU Futures Collaborative program facilitates the development of protocols and best practices associated with teaching intellectual property in an academic environment. Over the course of one semester, educators in residence (EIRs) will integrate existing intellectual property (IP) materials in a modular fashion while contributing additional materials informed by their specific discipline or culturally relevant, tailored materials informed by the communities they serve.

Learn how the HBCU Futures Collaborative program is shaping the future of IP education in HBCUs and become a part of this transformative movement!
