The treasure of the Black experience at a Historically Black
College/University (HBCU) is that it offers a personal and intimate
experience rooted in Black heritage that cannot be found at other
institutions. On campus, face-to-face instruction and activities
focused on addressing issues that plague the Black community are
paramount. This provides students with small classroom environments
and the personal support from administrators, faculty, and staff.
In March 2020, the Black experience was interrupted when a global
pandemic forced governors to declare states of emergencies and
mandate stay-at-home orders. The stay-at-home orders forced
universities to transition into fully remote environments. Doing so
heightened an array of emotions compounded by the reality of
previously recognized disparities in resources and funding amongst
higher education institutions. As a result of this abrupt
transformation, the HBCU experience was impacted by positive and
negative implications for Black people at the campus, local, state,
and national levels. The Black Experience and Navigating Higher
Education Through a Virtual World explores the reality of the Black
experience from various perspectives involving higher education
institutions with a focus on HBCUs. The book provides an overview
and analysis of a virtual experience that goes beyond the
day-to-day technological implications and exposes innovative ideas
and ways of navigating students and faculty through a remote world.
It focuses on heightening the awareness of disparities through the
Black experience in a virtual environment, provides guidance on
transitioning to fully remote environments, examines leadership
dynamics in virtual environments, analyzes mental health balance,
and examines implications on the digital divide. Covering topics
such as online course delivery, self-health, and social justice,
this book is essential for graduate students, academicians,
diversity officers in the academy, professors, and researchers.
