University Innovation Alliance expands for the first time in six years as founding members exceed graduation targets by over 73,000 students theuia.org/blog/university-innovation-alliance-adds-first-new-members-publishes-new-data-existing-institutionsPORTLAND, OREGON — (June 7, 2021) — The University Innovation Alliance, a pioneering consortium of public research universities working to improve student success, announced that the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (N.C. A&T) were selected to become the first institutions to join the consortium since its founding in 2014. The organization’s expansion follows the release of new data which shows that UIA’s founding members have exceeded graduation targets set during President Obama’s College Opportunity Summit. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is the country’s largest public Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and the largest producer of Black undergraduates in both engineering and agriculture, as well as Black graduates in mathematics and statistics. A land grant, doctoral research institution and constituent campus of the University of North Carolina System, It is the state’s third-most productive public research university, with nationally recognized strengths in STEM education. It is among the nation’s top national universities in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges rankings in Innovation, Undergraduate Teaching and Social Mobility. “We are delighted to join forces with ambitious and innovative peer institutions who share our commitment to reimagining what we do to be student centered, and transforming the future of higher education so that every student can succeed,” said Harold L. Martin, Sr., chancellor of North Carolina A&T. “Our university has made strong progress in these areas over the past decade, and we are eager to both share our approaches and dialogue with others on innovation that might lead to further success.”
