The president of Alabama State University has been appointed to a White House advisory board on historically Black colleges and universities.
President Joe Biden’s administration says ASU President Quinton Ross is among 18 people tapped to serve on the panel. Four other members also are presidents of historically Black schools.
The advisory board works with an initiative to improve and support historically Black institutions.
Ross, a former state legislator, is entering his fifth year at Alabama State, which is located in Montgomery.
“The work of the advisory board is extremely important to advancing the mission and vision of our institutions. I consider it an honor to serve the president in this capacity,” he said in a statement Friday.
