ORG  3   \nLumina’s commitment to its values—honesty, spirit of collaboration, and connection building—has proven integral to its capacity to work alongside various national and local non-profits to ensure that students have access to and the option to attain a quality postsecondary education.  \nIntroduction  \nSince 2000, the Lumina Foundation has worked arduously to change the educational and economic landscape of the United States of America. Lumina’s commitment to its values—honesty, spirit of collaboration, and connection building—has proven integral to its capacity to work alongside various national and local non-profits to ensure that students have access to and the option to attain a quality postsecondary education. To support and enhance educational attainment in the United States, the Lumina Foundation established a national goal of 60% of adults earning a high-quality credential by 2025. To achieve this goal, the Lumina Foundation expanded its funding to the adult learner population in 2017 by establishing the Adult Promise Initiative. The organization recognizes and values diversity, equity, and inclusion in its work and understands how minority-serving institutions, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), are integral to the proliferation of Black adult learners. HBCUs are small yet mighty, as these institutions comprise just three percent of American colleges and universities. However, they conferred 13% of Black bachelor’s degrees and 5% of Black master’s degrees (NCES, n. d. ) . In recognition of the tremendous impact of HBCUs on the Black community, these institutions must be involved in helping Lumina meet its 2025 goal by investing in its programming and initiatives.  \nRecognizing the tremendous impact HBCUs have on the educational attainment of Black Adult Learners, we must identify their curricular and co-curricular best practices that are critical to the academic success of this population. This report will provide an overview of these best practices for faculty, staff, and students of the five HBCUs participating in the Lumina Adult Learner Initiative grant.  \nThe organization of this report will include a brief review of the Adult Learner Initiative grant and its  \ncomponents, followed by the best practices frequently discussed among faculty, staff, and students participating in the grant and recommendations. We will then review Lumina’s philanthropic approach to the grant. Lastly, how staff and administrators define capacity-building for the adult learner population will be examined.  \n 4  LUMINA ADULT LEARNER INITIATIVE EXTERNAL REPORT  \nProgram Goa","cbCaiciiq0uGhlnF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiciiq0uGhlnF","pdf",1968692,12,"English","# Introduction\n# Program Goals and Objectives\n# Program Components\n# Philanthropic Approach\n# Adult Learner Best Practices\n## Faculty\n## Staff\n## Students\n# Recommendations\n# Capacity-Building Through the Lens of HBCUs","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Adult Learner Initiative External Report?\",\"answer\":\"It reviews the Adult Learner Initiative grant, highlights adult learner best practices for faculty, staff, and students at participating HBCUs, and provides recommendations alongside an examination of capacity-building.\"},{\"question\":\"Which HBCUs participate in the Lumina Adult Learner Initiative grant?\",\"answer\":\"The five participating institutions are Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, Johnson C.
