Pennsylvania Black Conference on Higher Education
The 50th Annual Conference will convene on June 7 - 9, 2020 at the Sheraton Pittsburgh Hotel at Station Square, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh is home to 16 colleges and universities that play a vital role in educating the next generation of leaders, advancing the city’s workforce development and generating breakthrough discoveries.
The conference theme, “PBCOHE: A 50 Year Journey - Our Past, Our Present and Our Future in Higher Education” will facilitate deep enriching conversations around the changing climate of Higher Education: funding, access, retention and success for African Americans and other underrepresented groups. PBCOHE is seeking to learn from leaders, faculty, and staff and graduate students whose work examines forces currently shaping higher education. These works may include policies or research on anticipated policies, innovations involving recruitment, admission and retention efforts, advancements in technology and online learning, local and national educational practices or programs, and how minority students might benefit from, or be hindered by, these policies, forces or changes in the coming years. Attendees will be provided with a rich opportunity to explore the myriad of issues related to ensuring student success while creating bonds with educators from across the Commonwealth.
Please join us as we celebrate 50 years of service, leadership and scholarship.
Sincerely,
The 2020 Annual Conference Planning Committee
Rachael Banks and Dr. Pricilla Robertson, Co-Chairs
