Princeton University is pleased to host the 30th Anniversary conference of the Association of Black Women in Higher Education (ABWHE), entitled, “Building on 30 Years of Achievement: Scholarship, Leadership & Service”.

We look forward to seeing you in Princeton, New Jersey in October 2008 for what promises to be a dynamic meeting.  The conference opens with a welcome reception on Thursday, October 9 at 5:30pm at Hyatt.  The conference workshops and panels will begin on Friday, October 10 and will commence in the late afternoon on Saturday, October 11 following a keynote address and awards luncheon.  A full conference schedule will be posted soon on the web-site.

The conference sessions will place special emphasis on the themes of Scholarship, Leadership and Service, focusing on the intersections and dynamics of gender, race and class. The Program Committee of the 2008 conference has issued a Call for Programs. Especially encouraged are proposals that address current research and best practices related to issues of access, equity, advocacy and mentoring of Black women in the academy on a local, national, regional, and international scale. There will be several networking opportunities for participants, and invited lectures are being arranged.
