President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he was appointing Suns star Chris Paul to his Board of Advisors on historically black college and universities.
Biden along with Vice President Kamala Harris—a graduate of Howard University, an HBCU—have committed more than $5.8 million to support toward the financial commitment to these institutions.
Paul, along with 17 other distinguished leaders, will serve on the board with the idea to advance the goal of the HBCU initiative, a platform aimed at providing the highest-quality education for students attending HBCUs.
Paul is no stranger to the HBCU community.
