In June 2022, Shaw University joined the Gold Standard Community, receiving accreditation as a Gold Standard <br />employer from the CEO Roundtable on Cancer. <br />Shaw is the first HBCU to earn Gold Standard <br />accreditation. Gold Standard employer recognition is extended to universities that champion health <br />and well-being by advancing prevention, diagnosis, and quality treatment of cancer for students, faculty, <br />staff, alumni, parents, and communities. <br />Barbara Powell-Jackson, Gold Community Engagement Coordinator and <br />an adjunct professor in the Shaw University School of Business and Professional Studies led the accreditation <br />Studies led the accreditation process. Shaw is committed to the health of our employees and bringing life-saving benefits of cancer prevention, <br />early detection, and quality care to employees, students, and communities. The school of Business and Professional<br />Studies received a $60,000 <br />renewable grant from the CEO roundtable on Cancer to support a community engagement <br />program that focuses on reducing health inequities. The grant <br />provides resources to encourage activities that <br />will improve health outcomes among populations in the area who are disproportionately affected by cancer. <br />The Shaw University Center for Racial and Social Justice is also a supporting partner of this initiative. <br />
