The NAFEO 35th National Conference on Blacks in Higher Education will mark NAFEO’s 40th anniversary, the 41st anniversary of the assassination of Morehouse alumnus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and the beginning of a new era with a new Administration, a new Congress, new executives in governors' mansions across the country, new state legislators, a new business/philanthropic/ non-profit paradigm, and a new global financial archetype. NAFEO sees this convergence of events as a tremendous opportunity to expand upon its annual National Conference on Blacks in Higher Education to convene a wider range of stakeholders to reach consensus on a National Agenda on Blacks in Higher Education, a blueprint for helping black students achieve equity and excellence in higher education in the 21st century, and to position the HBCU and PBI communities to lead the nation in realizing The Lumina Foundation’s goal of having 60% of  Americans hold a 2- or 4-year college degree by 2025.
