Pipelines, Pathways and Institutional Leadership in a

Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education

The 2019 Annual Conference: “Pipelines, Pathways and Institutional Leadership in a Changing Climate” was held on Thursday, March 7th through Saturday, March 9th at the Embassy Suites, Philadelphia Airport Hotel.

Forty-nine years ago, K. Leroy Irvis founded the Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education to examine the impact of state and federal educational policies on persons of color in Pennsylvania and advocate for greater access for minority students, faculty and staff. The 2019 theme, “Pipelines, Pathways and Institutional Leadership in a Changing Climate”, looked specifically at the professionals that work within those institutions and developed strategies to help navigate the pathway to success given higher education’s changing political, cultural and economic climate. PBCOHE is seeking to learn from senior management, faculty and graduate students, whose work examines what forces currently shape the landscape within higher education. These may include changes we anticipate in the coming years, and how higher education professionals might benefit from or be hampered by recent changes and innovations in policy and education across the country.

Since 1970, PBCOHE has given thousands of dollars in financial support to worthy students through its scholarship program. Moreover, PBCOHE provides ongoing opportunities for minorities in higher education to pursue their professional, social, and personal development. We are a not-for-profit, (501)(C)(3) organization and; a Pennsylvania professional association whose purpose is to ensure that African Americans and other underrepresented groups have access to higher education in the Commonwealth.

Philadelphia served as the ideal setting for examining the current climate of pathways and pipelines in our institutions. This conference provided attendees with a rich opportunity to explore the myriad of issues related to career pathways as well as professional and personal development.

Sincerely,
The 2019 Annual Conference Planning Committee

Shamell Jackson, Chairperson
