ASU & Apple Partners with Tennessee State University
Today, Alabama State University announced it will become a community center for Coding and Creativity as part of Apple’s Community Education Initiative and Tennessee State University’s HBCU C2. The teaching and learning initiative is designed to empower Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to expand technology and creativity experiences within their institutions and broader communities.
“We are excited to partner with Apple and Tennessee State University to establish Alabama State University as a community center for Coding and Creativity,” said ASU President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross, Jr. “This partnership directly aligns with the CommUniversity anchor of our ‘Focus 2030’ Strategic Plan, which focuses on building partnerships that help the University to expand opportunities for our students and faculty, while increasing our impact locally, nationally and globally.”
As an HBCU C2 C community coding center, or technology hub, Alabama State University will offer new learning opportunities for degree-seeking students and community learners. ASU will join the nearly four dozen universities across the country that have expanded their impact through partnerships with local K-12 schools, community organizations, local governments, and more.
As part of its Community Education Initiative, Apple is supporting Alabama State University with equipment and ongoing professional development to become the pre-eminent HBCU C2 community center to bring coding and creativity to Montgomery, Alabama.
