Center For Excellence
About Us
Our History
The Center for Excellence in Public and Government Service has a rich history dedicated to empowering HBCU students to become influential leaders in government service. Our journey began with a mission to expand education and opportunities at HBCUs, uniting with government agencies and civic organizations to drive societal change. Over the years, we’ve nurtured HBCU students, helping them evolve into transformational leaders poised to make a difference on Capitol Hill, all while renewing interest in government service and advancing equity for all. Our commitment to our vision and mission remains unwavering as we continue to shape a more equitable future through excellence in public and government service.

These individuals have been instrumental in our mission to empower HBCU students and foster future leaders in government service.
