Join us as we prepare to celebrate the achievements, resilience, and bright futures of our graduates.
We are honored to welcome our 2026 Commencement Speaker, Lisa Nichols, a globally recognized keynote speaker, New York Times bestselling author, and Founder & CEO of Motivating the Masses. Her impact has reached over 88 million people worldwide, empowering individuals and organizations to lead with purpose, navigate change, and elevate performance.

From appearances on major platforms like The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Today Show to her global influence as a featured teacher in The Secret, Lisa Nichols continues to redefine what it means to lead and inspire.

Huston-Tillotson University will receive a portion of a $4 million distribution approved by the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry (GBHEM) to support the 11 United Methodist-related historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
Approved during the board’s April meeting in Nairobi, the one-time allocation will be distributed evenly among the institutions. The funding comes as HBCUs navigate reduced church apportionment support and broader challenges impacting higher education.
“This funding stems from our commitment to educational access and leadership formation at United Methodist-related historically Black colleges and universities,” said Roland Fernandes, general secretary for Higher Education and Ministry and Global Ministries. “While we hope the funds will help our institutions, it’s not just about money. This is about supporting education at HBCUs at a critical time.”
Huston-Tillotson, Austin’s only HBCU and a United Methodist-affiliated institution, will use the funds to support student access and institutional priorities aligned with its mission.
“We are grateful to the General Board of Higher Education and Ministry for this investment and for its continued commitment to United Methodist-related HBCUs,” said Melva K. Wallace, president and CEO of Huston-Tillotson University. “This support allows us to stay focused on what matters—ensuring access, holding our students to a high standard, and preparing graduates who are equipped to lead and produce.”
