NCORE 2008 

National Conference on Race & Ethnicity in American Higher Education

May 27-31, 2008 in Orlando, Florida

NCORE launched in 1988 as a response to a resurgence of racial incidents on college campuses. Today, NCORE has evolved into a unique, participant driven forum that focuses on change designed to improve racial and ethnic relations and to expand opportunities for educational access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally underrepresented populations. NCORE is presented by the Southwest Center for Human Relations Studies at the University of Oklahoma.

More than a comprehensive series of learning opportunities consisting of well over 200 workshops, film previews, a multicultural market place and special features, NCORE is a community of committed change agents who gather annually to explore lingering and emergent issues of racial equality, cultural understanding, and social tolerance. NCORE is authentic interactions and spirited, late night debates with new friends.

Administrators, educators, students and professional staff at college institutions should attend this conference. NCORE is also well suited for any person interested in exploring the important race and tolerance issues of the twenty-first century.
