On behalf of the University of Kansas, Noel-Levitz and ACPA-College Student Educators International, we are pleased to extend an invitation to attend the 11th Annual Symposium on the Recruitment & Retention of Students of Color: Connecting the Circle, April 20–22, 2008. This Symposium is designed to facilitate the exchange of strategies, techniques, and ideas. In addition, it provides an opportunity for collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs professionals.
The Symposium’s focus is undergraduate recruitment and retention (including admissions, housing, and advising). Undergraduate recruitment explores the issues that affect college choice and preparation and the influence educators have on those central issues. Undergraduate retention addresses the role of the campus and the local community in supporting students of color as they matriculate through graduation.
We have an excellent line-up of keynote speakers and workshops that will be instrumental in assisting your home institution in areas of recruitment and retention. In addition, the Symposium will provide opportunities to meet, network, and learn from other higher education professionals from across the country who are dedicated to serving the needs of students of color. Please register as soon as possible as space is limited. We look forward to seeing you at the Symposium!
Sincerely,

Robert N. Page Jr.
Chair, Symposium on the Recruitment & Retention of Students of Color
"I took home ideas to attract, advise, and retain a diverse student body."
"The workshops provided me with 'drive and determination' to make our recruitment program a success."
"This was a great experience for me. I did a lot of networking and learned about recruiting and retention tools."
"I enjoyed meeting colleagues who are having similar experiences. This was an opportunity to look beyond my institution and see the bigger issues facing higher education for students of color."
We are no longer accepting registrations for this program.
Thank you for your interest.
