Throughout his two decades of visionary leadership, UNCF has raised more than $4 billion to help 150,000+ students earn degrees and launch careers. Lomax has also established UNCF’s Institute for Capacity Building, empowering their 37 member HBCUs to thrive as effective, self-sustaining institutions.
