N2 - Although there has been an increase over the years, few scholars (Gray, 2015) have explored how HBCUs have [re]positioned to support veterans, servicemembers, and their families. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to focus on current veteran-friendly practices within HBCUs and implication for future directions. First, we provide a brief historical overview of the signif- icant contributions of HBCUs and military education. Next, we highlight six HBCUs that have a designation on the 20202021 Military Friendly listing. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for HBCUs to consider in their future efforts to foster, sustain, or enhance the campus environment to affirm veterans, servicemembers, and their families.
