APB is proud to be a part of the 24th Annual National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE), going on now in San Francisco, California!
Among the many distinguished speakers at NCORE this year is Robin D.G. Kelley, who will keynote the final day of the conference on June 4th. An author, historian, and APB speaker, Kelley offers insights into how racial issues and higher education institutions have coevolved since the first NCORE conference in 1988 (to learn more about NCORE, see below). His background, knowledge, and experiences at some of America’s highest learning institutions give him a unique perspective on ethnic and racial issues for him to share, and his address is sure to acknowledge many of NCORE’s triumphs and challenges. Kelley’s speech topic, "New Ways of Seeing, New Ways of Being: Building a Post-Racist Society," is a perfect fit for the final day of the conference as it will encourage the audience to continue to strive for better race relations and focus on a future of diversity and acceptance.
APB will be at the conference to help attendees learn how they can apply the messages from NCORE to their next campus event. Be sure to stop by Booth #38 to say hello to our representatives, APB agents Flip and Adam, and learn more about our wide roster of speakers including Hispanic speakers, Asian speakers, Native American speakers, and others who speak on issues surrounding diverse and minority communities.
All About NCORE
In 1988, The Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies created the first National Conference on Race and Ethnicity to address the reappearance and rise of racist incidents within institutions of higher education. Continuing their focus on promoting stronger ethnic and racial relations on campus, NCORE has evolved into a multicultural forum where institutions of many different backgrounds can come together and share strategies on cross-cultural communication and development. APB is proud to be in attendance at this year’s conference to further support improvements within ethnic and racial relations on campuses.
