NACAC at NCORE
I recently had the opportunity to represent NACAC at the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in American Higher Education (NCORE). Since 1988, this annual conference has served as the premier forum for members of the higher education community to discuss and work to create college campuses that are more equitable, accessible, and anti-racist.
NCORE was an incredibly valuable professional development opportunity.

Here are some of the things that have kept me thinking in the weeks that have passed since the conference concluded.
Member News and Notes
