�۲ʿ�� hosts the 10thannual Youth Helping Youth Conference in partnership with the NAACP at �۲ʿ��'s Northeast Campus. The one-day event combines a celebration of African-American history and education to help prepare students for college. The conference includes workshops aimed at a college prep curriculum and walks parents through the financial aid resources available and college funding opportunities.

Students from grades 6-12 are invited to attend, along with their parents or other adult family members. The event is free to participants and provides a morning of breakout sessions designed to help parents and students plan for college and develop skills necessary to be successful.

Break-out sessions are titled: Preparing for ACT; Black History: Past and Present; Black Student Experience: the Remix; Everything you wanted to know about college but were afraid to ask; Why �۲ʿ�� is for me.

�۲ʿ�� is proud of its commitment to diversity which is one of the college’s five core values. The annual event has served to diversify �۲ʿ��’s student body by increasing our minority student population and reaching out to historically underserved and underrepresented communities through outreach. �۲ʿ��’s minority enrollment has climbed significantly in the past 20 years.

• 2011-2012 28.7% minority enrollment
