Oakton Hosts Pan African Education Summit
Issues facing African Americans in higher education will be addressed in a summit, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., Friday, Feb. 15, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road.
The conference, One Voice, One Village, One Goal: Concerns of African Americans in Higher Education, is designed to share information about the role and status of African Americans employed at community colleges and discuss ways of retaining African American faculty, staff, administrators, and students in the educational system. The summit features keynote speaker David Sam, Ph.D., president of Elgin Community College. A native of Ghana, West Africa, Sam became Elgin's eighth president in February 2007.
Made possible by a grant from the Oakton Educational Foundation, the conference is sponsored by the Pan African Connection, a group of Oakton faculty, staff, and administrators who serve as advocates for African Americans and others from the diaspora.
Registration is $30 (before Jan. 25) and includes summit materials, continental breakfast, and lunch. After Jan. 25, the registration fee is $45.
