About the Conference

Greetings!

We are pleased to extend an invitation to you to attend the 2008 Achievement Conference: "Inspiring Greatness to the Summit and Beyond" on Saturday, February 9, 2008, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., at The Nittany Lion Inn. This eighth annual event is presented by the Black Graduate Student Association and co-sponsored by the Office of the Vice Provost for Educational Equity, the Office of Graduate Educational Equity Programs, the Office of Undergraduate Education, the Commission on Racial/Ethnic Diversity, and the Forum on Black Affairs.

The purpose of this conference is to foster relationships among juniors, seniors, and graduate students of color, along with faculty and administrators. The Achievement Conference promotes professional and academic development and encourages networking among faculty and students of color. All faculty, administrators, graduate students, and prospective graduate students of color are encouraged to attend. This is an excellent opportunity for faculty to share their knowledge and experiences with tomorrow's research scholars and professionals.

The conference agenda will include professional development workshops, a buffet luncheon, and a keynote address by John Sanchez. The conference will also feature a research exhibition for interested conference participants to showcase their work.

We hope to see you on Saturday, February 9, 2008, at The Nittany Lion Inn!
