FAMU is one of five Historically Black Colleges and Universities collaborating with Bristol Myers Squibb on the launch the company’s Tomorrow’s Innovators project, a five-year, multimillion-dollar alliance designed to reach diverse talent sooner in their undergraduate career and provide the support and education needed to reach their career goals within the biopharma industry.
Tomorrow's Innovators seeks to build a sustainable bridge for diverse talent from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to the biopharma industry. Its conception is another step toward creating an equitable future for Black talent in healthcare.
Through collaboration with the HBCUs, Tomorrow’s Innovators will co-create custom biopharma programming, develop a 2-way leadership exchange program for collaboration and research purposes, increase HBCU talent recruitment, and attract executive-level Black talent. Together, we’ll build the incubator for the industry’s future leaders to create a more diverse and equitable future in healthcare.
FAMU was chosen along with Howard University, Morgan State University, North Carolina A&T State University and the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff.
