The National Conference on Race & Ethnicity (NCORE) serves as the leading national forum on issues of race and ethnicity in American higher education. At this conference, NCORE offers five days of major workshops, keynote addresses, special features, and concurrent breakout sessions. Presenters from across the U.S. share their knowledge, expertise and experiences from across all aspects of higher education.

The NCORE conference series constitutes the leading and most comprehensive national forum on issues of race and ethnicity in American higher education. The conference focuses on the complex task of creating and sustaining comprehensive institutional change designed to improve racial and ethnic relations on campus and to expand opportunities for educational access and success by culturally diverse, traditionally underrepresented populations.

NCORE is designed to provide a significant forum for discussion, critical dialogue, and exchange of information as institutions search for effective strategies to enhance access, social development, education, positive communication, and cross-cultural understanding in culturally diverse settings.
