Since its launch in 2010, Paradigm Shift has operated predominantly in the grant sector, working with TRIO, Gear Up and similar educational services. Recently, we began to take note of the disparity of these services provided specifically to HBCUs and PBIs compared to the rest of the academic world. Out of our desire to increase the number of services provided, decrease the disparity and create content unique to black academic community, PSME was created.
Check out our Inaugural PSME Black Collegiate Leadership Summit and Strive Series to get a feel for the PSME initiative.
