Former NBA player J.R. Smith is on a mission to not only better himself, but those around him. In this episode of HBCU Rising, Smith sits with North Carolina A&T Dean and Professor of the College of Education Dr. Paula Groves Price, to discuss the importance of pouring into the next generation of students. With the help of Toyota, he also donates $5K to provide equipment to the STEAM lab at Aggie Academy for students to have the resources they need.
