Our Programs: The University of Chicago Black Conference
The University of Chicago Black Conference is in collaboration with the Organization of Black Students and the African and Caribbean Student Association, University of Chicago Association of Black Alumni, several undergraduate and graduate RSOs, faculty, staff, and community members. Any member of Black UChicago and the community is welcome to attend. The Conference is an annual event aimed at illuminating the intertwined narratives of the University of Chicago’s students, alumni, and faculty with the broader Hyde Park and South Side communities. Through thoughtful and respectful engagement, this one-day conference aspires to underscore the necessity for establishing a Black House on campus.
