14^th Annual College Prep Conference & College Fair

In an effort to address the academic achievement gap of African Americans students, CLD along with college, university, and community partners created the CLD College Prep Conference & College Fair to expose African Americans students and parents who reside in Indiana to post-secondary education and career opportunities. This conference is designed to address the fact that African American students are persisting and graduating from college at lower rates compared to their peers of other races and ethnicities. We come together to empower African American students, to discuss common pitfalls, and to identify effective academic and career strategies to improve the career and academic achievement gap of African American students.
