“The most beneficial part of the MS-CC Annual Meeting was the networking opportunities it provided for engaging with peers, industry leaders, and experts from various fields, allowing for the exchange of innovative ideas and best practices.”
—2024 MS-CC Annual Meeting Attendee
We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, and the 2025 MS-CC Annual Meeting in Nashville, May 28-30, promises to be just as engaging. We’re working diligently to fulfill MS-CC’s vision of advancing technology infrastructure for research and education at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), and the broader community of minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in research and education. Hosting the 3rd annual MS-CC Annual Meeting in Nashville is an important part of our efforts. We invite the community to register now. Space for the event is limited, so register early!
Committed to Community
Much has changed during the first few months of this year, but our commitment to bringing the community together for this once-a-year opportunity where HBCUs and TCUs lead the conversation about sustainable campus-level IT capabilities for data-intensive education and research programs remains the same. This year’s program – which your peers on the program committee helped to shape – includes panels, discussions, presentations, and lightning talks focusing on cyberinfrastructure case studies, artificial intelligence in research and education, and CI enabled science and applications.
Continuing Critical Conversations
The theme for the 2025 MS-CC Annual Meeting – Community. Collaboration. Connection. – speaks to our continued commitment to creating a space for practitioners, community members, and leaders from HBCUs, TCUs, MSIs, and other institutions throughout the research and education community to gather for critical conversations. We hope you will join us to be a part of those conversations.
