Originally launched by the University of Oklahoma 26 years ago, NCORE engages students, administrators, professors and leaders in higher education in a series of seminars, workshops and keynote addresses that foster open discussions and relationship building. Its mission is to ameliorate racial and ethnic relations, help colleges and universities to engender more inclusive and welcoming milieus and expand opportunities for historically underrepresented groups in higher education.
Dr. Belinda P. Biscoe Boni, associate vice president of community outreach in the College of Continuing Education at the University of Oklahoma, noted that NCORE is “much more than just a conference,” but what she describes as a life-changing experience.
