I draw a lot of my inspiration from the neighborhood, Indianapolis, and the heartland in general. Indianapolis has essentially become my muse, always influencing my subject material. At the same time it’s a privilege to be in such an up and coming city, that is still essentially a blank canvas, waiting for the creative class to make its mark. Trying to balance out what’s already here and influential, with that creative freedom, has resulted in my own abstract, pattern heavy impressionistic style.” — Drew Avery CONTENTS TUESDAY, MAY 27, 2014 FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2014 Program Schedule at a Glance . 19 Program Schedule at a Glance . 105 Pre-Conference Institutes at a Glance . 19 Session Presentations . 111 Pre-Conference Institutes . 21 Conference Keynote Session . 122 Students and Student Scholars Reception. 33 Film Preview and Discussion Event . 143 NCORE 101 . 33 Special Event - The Movement . 143 Film Preview and Discussion Event . 33 SATURDAY, MAY 31, 2014 Film Preview and Discussion Event . 34 Student Event - Let's Play A Game . 34 Program Schedule at a Glance . 145 Session Presentations . 148 WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 2014 Closing Conference Keynote Session . 164 Program Schedule at a Glance… . .. 37 ADDITIONAL FEATURES Session Presentations . 41 Opening Conference Keynote Session . .. 48 Self-Organized Caucus Meetings . 6 NCORE 2014 Welcoming Reception & Talent Showcase . .. 61 Executive Committee Listing . 9 Special Event - Las Cafeteras . 61 Student Scholarship Recipients. .. 16 Exhibitor Showcase and Resource Center . 166 THURSDAY, MAY 29, 2014 Alphabetic Listing of All Presenters . 175 Program Schedule at a Glance . 63 JW Marriott Hotel Maps . 172 Session Presentations . 68 Conference Keynote Session . 80 Special Event - Thundering Moccasins . .. 104 Special Event - Amnesia . 104 Film Preview and Discussion Event . 104 27TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RACE AND ETHNICITY IN AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION 1 ABOUT THE JW MARRIOTT: JW MARRIOTT INDIANAPOLIS 10 South West Street Indianapolis, IN 46204 Main Phone: 317-860-5800 FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF OUR NCORE GUESTS, THE MARRIOTT OFFERS: · 24 hour full service Business Center · Fitness Center and indoor pool · 24 hour room service · On-site Fed-Ex Office · Hertz Rent a Car on-site DINING IN THE HOTEL: · Tavern on the Plaza-Outside Restaurant · High Velocity-Sports Bar · Osteria Pronto-Italian · Starbucks THESE HELPFUL LINKS WILL MAKE YOUR TRIP TO INDIANAPOLIS A GREAT ONE: Bus Maps and Schedules www.indygo.net Where to eat, What to do www.visitindy.com 2 27TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RACE AND ETHNICITY IN AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION WELCOME TO NCORE Welcome to the 27th Annual National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education. We are excited you are joining us in Indianapolis this year and hope you will be able to not only learn from the conference, but become a change agent on your campus. What is NCORE? In 1988, the Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies launched the first annual National Conference for Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE®) to address the resurgence of racist incidents in higher education. Since its inception, the conference has evolved into a vital national resource for higher education institutions, providing an annual multicultural forum that attracts Black/African Americans, American Indians, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Latino/as and European Americans representing campuses across the United States. The NCORE conference series constitutes the leading and most comprehensive national forum on issues of race and ethnicity in American higher education. The conference focuses on the complex task of creating and sustaining comprehensive institutional change designed to improve racial and ethnic relations on campus and to expand opportunities for educational access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally underrepresented populations. NCORE is designed to provide a significant forum for discussion, critical dialogue and exchange of information as institutions search for effective strategies to enhance access, social development, education, positive communication and cross-cultural understanding in culturally diverse settings. We’ve come a long way in terms of advancing the cause of racial and ethnic equality in higher education in our country, but that doesn’t mean our climb has reached its zenith. In many ways, we’ve just begun. At its essence, NCORE is about facilitating conversations – conversations that need to happen to keep the momentum we have, or to generate new momentum in the fight for educational equality. NCORE is about empowering those bold enough to be difference makers by providing information and a forum for collaboration and support. NCORE unites people - administrators, faculty, students and others - who recognize both their ability to speak and their responsibility to do so. People are listening. NCORE provides a voice. What is new or different this year? We listened to your comments, read your evaluations and revised NCORE 2014 to reflect the following changes: • Streamlined session schedule with fewer start time conflicts • A scheduled location and time for networking with peers during afternoon beverage breaks is in the Griffin Exhibition Hall from 2:45- 3:30pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. • Fewer Keynote presentations • An exhibit hall easy to locate, and involved in the program schedule Can I customize my schedule on a smartphone or tablet?

NCORE staff can be reached through both the information booth and the NCORE office located on the third floor in JW 311. Session & Conference Evaluations We depend on participant feedback to position NCORE on the leading edge of topics, issues and ideas. Session evaluations are located in the individual session rooms with a volunteer. Please tell presenters if they are hitting the mark by filling out session evaluations after the session. Please make recommendations for the next NCORE by filling out the general evaluation, which will be emailed to you shortly after the conclusion of the NCORE 2014 conference. Your input is essential to the future success of this forum.
