We are excited you are joining us in DC 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.
