EKU to Host Conference of Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education

Eastern Kentucky University will host the 30th Anniversary Conference of the Kentucky Association of Blacks in Higher Education April 14-16. More than 200 black students, faculty, administrators and Kentucky state officials are expected to participate.

Centering on this year’s theme, “Generational Leadership: Embracing the Talents of Blacks in Higher Education,” the KABHE Conference Planning Committee has developed a series of programs and activities “designed to focus on the development of leadership at every level and preparing for transitioning from old school to new school as we celebrate our past and embrace the future of blacks in higher education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the nation, and abroad,” said Sandra Moore, associate provost for diversity planning at EKU. “Another first during this conference is the Student Leadership Institute, which is designed for our high school students so that we can strengthen the pipeline for black leadership in Kentucky.”

To learn more about the conference, including registration and other details, visit www.kabhe1.org or request a brochure by contacting Sandra Moore at sandra.moore@eku.edu.
