African American Knowledge CommunitySponsored Sessions
Adapting Best Practice at HBCUs to Foster Black Student Success Nationally. Historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) and Black cultural centers at predominantly White institutions (PWI) have been at the forefront of creating supportive environments for Black college students. These institutions have worked to integrate traditions and bold leadership into plans for long-term sustainability. Participants will join professionals in a critical analysis of best practices that can be adapted at various institution types to meet the needs of students who reflect the traditional HBCU student population. March 22, 9am-4pm Dillard University (Off-Site)
African American Women: Career Experience & Persistence Strategies. The presenter will review new dissertation research (Clay, 2014) on the career experiences of five current African American women chief student affairs leaders at predominately white institutions. Despite the unique challenges the participants, the women intentionally utilized strategies to persist in student affairs through obtaining senior level leadership positions. The results of this interactive presentation will assist supervisors, colleagues and future generations of African American women navigating their careers in student affairs. March 23, 2:30pm – 3:20pm 220-Convention Center
Counter Narratives and Perspective Gathering: Student Success at HBCU's. Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have a rich history of promoting success and social mobility, providing access to higher education, and developing leaders within the African American community (Palmer & Gasman, 2008). A University of Georgia research team has worked collaboratively to investigate student success at HBCUs in the Southeast. During this session, team members will discuss the research project, share findings, lessons learned, and engage audience members in future directions student success research at HBCUs. March 24, 11:05am – 11:55am 208-Convention Center
Retention: The Road to African American Student Success. Retention rates for African American students tend to lag behind those for other groups. Without strong retention rates, student success will not be a reality. Two urban universities are achieving results; one of them increased the Black student retention rate almost 10% in one year. During this experiential session, the presenters will share effective programs and strategies and actively engage participants in case studies and discussion about initiatives on participants' campuses.
