Ms. Candace Groudine, Program Analyst for the Office of Civil Rights, is responsible for the Minority Institutions of Higher Education Program. In order to assist Ms. Groudine, I am requesting your assistance in identifying persons responsible for managing the Federal and State MIHE/HBCU Programs in your State. Ms. Groudine has been tasked with the following:
(1) To develop effective strategies for outreach programs to the MIHE; (2) To develop and utilize a communication tool kit to establish broad and sustained outreach efforts to the MIHE; (3) To increase the MIHE involvement and expand opportunities for MIHE students pursuing transportation careers by participating in programs such as the Dwight David Eisenhower Fellowship Program, Summer Transportation Internship Program for Diverse Groups, and Transportation and Civil Engineering Careers Program; (4) To encourage existing partners to collaborate and involve other MIHE in their FHWA activities; and (5) To facilitate periodic workshops to bring representatives of MIHE not working with FHWA together with FHWA representatives and State partners.
I am asking that you identify the MIHE/HBCU coordinator for your State, his/her name, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses and send the information to Ms. Groudine at candace.groudine@fhwa.dot.gov.
If you need further information, please contact him directly at 919-834-6181.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
