  YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN NTIA’S BROADBANDUSA PRACTICAL BROADBAND
CONVERSATIONS WEBINAR

  TOPIC: CYBERINFRASTRUCTURE: MOVING BEYOND BROADBAND AT HBCUS AND TCUS

  DATE:   Wednesday, July 15, 2020

  TIME:  2:00 to 3:30 p.m. ET

  OVERVIEW: Cyberinfrastructure differs from traditional web and
broadband access in its focus and magnitude. The high-performance
computing and networking resources of cyberinfrastructure enables
educators, scientists and students opportunities to create and
collaborate in entirely new ways--experiencing processes and results
even if the technologies and data sets are thousands of miles away.
Many institutions of higher education are engaged in this new kind of
scholarly inquiry and education, empowering their communities to
innovate and to revolutionize what they do, how they do it, and who
participates.   Broadband, though necessary, is not sufficient for
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Tribal Colleges
and Universities (TCUs) to be competitive in the 21st Century.   Please
join BroadbandUSA's webinar on July 15, 2020 to hear from panelists who
will highlight the cyberinfrastructure at HBCUs and TCUs, as well as the
importance of partnerships with national organizations such as Internet2
and EDUCAUSE in achieving the common goals of diversity and inclusion.

Please note: This webinar will run from 2:00 to 3:30 EDT.
