Further, the School of Business must be a major contributor to the dialogue concerning economic empowerment for people of color and must also be recognized for producing research on economic empowerment and entrepreneurship. The sum of Vision 21 is that the School of Business must create uniqueness in management education, research, and service that only Howard University can provide.
