“Chabot couldn’t be more excited for this relationship with Miles College and for the strong ties it will develop between our institutions,” said Chabot president Jamal Cooks. “With Black History Month approaching, we are reminded of the unique experience that (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) provide in fostering a supportive environment where Black students can succeed.”
Cooks also said he plans to expand Chabot’s relationships with other HBCUs, possibly focusing on smaller schools that “might otherwise be overlooked.”
