At the 2026 Harris-Stowe State University Presidential Leadership Retreat, we were challenged to think differently about what leadership looks like in higher education.

Through a powerful presentation by Orvin T. Kimbrough, attendees explored the role of human potential, belonging, and student-centered leadership, with a simple but powerful charge: "Be who they need."

As we prepare for the year ahead, we remain committed to creating an environment where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to succeed. Because retention is everybody’s responsibility, and belonging is everybody’s work.
