What’s Uniqueabout CRC?Many higher education consortia exist throughout the country, but few have our combination of institutions: two historically black colleges and universities, two women’s colleges and one public land-grant research university. We all share the same community, contributing significantly to its character and vibrancy and benefitting immensely from its people and resources.

• Functionasaclearinghousefor information and resource sharing and a convening for shared interests

• Workonbehalfofstudents,faculty or staff members in two or more institutions with an emphasis on projects with specific goals and outcomes

• Buildonalreadysuccessfulcollaborations of member campuses

With cooperation we can...help students graduate on time and enrich their education by taking advantage of courses at other CRC institutions.
