NACE's 2025 HBCU & Inclusion Summit

THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND EMPLOYERS PROUDLY PRESENTS ITS

NACE's 2025 HBCU & Inclusion Summit

FEBRUARY 19-20, 2025 | VIRTUAL

In today’s increasingly inclusive workforce, attracting and developing talent from historically underrepresented backgrounds is not just something you SHOULD do, but something you MUST do to succeed.

But how do you do this in your day-to-day work? What resources are available to help you? Who else has succeeded and what can success look like?

Join us at NACE’s 2025 HBCU and Inclusion Summit, where we’ll unite professionals from industry employers, HBCUs, and various higher education institutions to share data, strategies, and tactics for recruiting and supporting various student populations.
