Dr. Leslie Ekpe, assistant professor in the Department of Higher Education and Learning Technologies at East Texas A&M University, has been awarded a $5,000 Channing Briggs Small Research Grant by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Foundation to support her project titled “Tell Me Something Good: Alumni Reconnections at HBCU Homecomings.” The research focuses on the experiences of alumni from 20 Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), examining how homecoming events contribute to ongoing alumni engagement and the long-term sustainability of campus traditions. The project will be presented in a documentary format to highlight the cultural significance and community-building aspects of these gatherings.
