SPEAKERS
PURPOSE
I
JULIAN BOND
ndiana University at Kokomo will offer its second annual in-depth working conference addressing the
inherent barriers minorities face in higher education. This year's conference "Barriers Beyond the Classroom"
will be held September 11-13, 1992.
The conference will expose educators and other professionals to innovative programs, speakers, and ideas
to enhance minority access, success, and placement in graduate and professional schools and careers.
You must know all too well that the marked lack of success among minorities who pursue higher education
strikes at the very fabric and future of our society. Recent demographics tell us that only a small number of minority students is completing baccalaureate degrees; among those who do, few are entering graduate programs,
professional schools, and competitive careers. These problems are particularly severe on our nation's predominantly
white campuses.
To remove the barriers, we in postsecondary education must collectively improve our ability to educate and
serve the minority student to ensure greater success. In addition, the efforts of educators must be firmly linked with
business, industry, and early intervention programs to improve opportunities for placement, retention, and
advancement.
All of us who represent predominantly white colleges and universities know that the dismal minority graduation rates at our institutions are cause for alarm. We expect that during this conference, educators from these
institutions will learn from the successful programs presented by our speakers.
This conference promises to address these critical issues and to provide a forum through which educators can
improve postsecondary education and professional development for minority students.
We are firm in our commitment to address these issues aggressively and believe that as educators we must
pool our collective resources to resolve this national crisis.
Keynote Speaker
BLANDINA RAMIREZ
Julian Bond-activist, politician, writer, lecturer, and
teacher-has been on the cutting edge of social change for
more than three decades.
In 1960 he helped found the Committee on Appeal
for Human Rights (COHAR), a civil rights organization
that used nonviolent antisegregation protests to effect social
change. The same year, Bond was one of hundreds of
students who helped form the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Bond served in the Georgia House of Representatives
from 1965 to 1974. From 1974 to 1986 he was a Georgia state
senator who sponsored or co-sponsored more than 60 bills
that became law.
A collection of Bond's essays has been published
under the title A Time to Speak, A Time to Act. He is the author
of Black Candidates-Southern Campaign Experiences. His
poems and articles have appeared in numerous journals,
magazines, and newspapers.
In addition, Bond is the host of "America's Black
Forum," the oldest black-owned show in television syndication. He served as a commentator for radio's "Byline,"
syndicated to more than 200 stations, and he narrated the
critically acclaimed PBS series "Eyes on the Prize.
A professor of history, politics, and civil rights, Bond
is currently a distinguished scholar in residence at the
American University in Washington, D.C., and a visiting
professor at Harvard University.
Blandina Ramirez serves as the director of the Office of
Minorities in Higher Education for the American Council
on Education. Her office coordinates the council's major
initiatives in promoting the increased participation of
minorities in higher education.
Ramirez is also a commissioner on the United States
Commission on Civil Rights. The commission monitors the
enforcement of civil rights law and makes recommendations to the president and Congress on the need for policies
and procedures to advance civil rights.
Ramirez's professional record dates back to the early
1960s. She has held positions in several educational
organizations, has delivered presentations to conferences
throughout the United States, and has served as the U.S.
representative to international programs.
Through grants, Ramirez has secured approximately
$100 million for educational and nonprofit organizations
and for civic activities.

�ADDITIONAL. SPEAKERS
BRUCE HARE
Bruce Hare is a professor of sociology and the chair of the
Department of African American Studies at Syracuse
University. His areas of expertise include the sociology of
education, social psychology, and sociological theory.
Hare's research has focused on the influence of selfesteem and socialization on the academic achievements of
preadolescents. He has also studied how gender, social class,
and "race" affect students' perceptions and performance.
Hare has argued that educators should talk about
"eviction rates" and not simply drop out rates. Some
students, he suggests, are "evicted," because schools fail to
respond to student differences in potential and in many
ways create such differences.
Hare has published numerous articles about desegregation and about effective education. His research has been
published by the U.S. Department of Education, the
National Urban League, and the President's Commission
on Mental Health.
HERMAN BLAKE
Herman Blake is the vice chancellor for undergraduate
education at Indiana University-Purdue University at
Indianapolis.
His academic service began in 1966, when he
became a professor of sociology at the University of
California at Santa Cruz. He worked with other faculty
and with students to develop Oakes College, the seventh
of eight undergraduate colleges on the UC-Santa Cruz
campus. From 1972 to 1984, he served as the college's
founding provost.
Washington mayor Marion Barry selected Blake in
1987 to chair the Advisory Commission on Postsecondary
Education for the District of Columbia.
Blake has written several publications, including
"The Struggles of Minority Students at Predominantly
White Institutions," "Approaching Minority Students
As Assets," and "Challenge of Diversity."
RONALD JOHNSON
Ronald Johnson is the manager of corporate affairs and
minority recruiting for Eli Lilly and Company. He has
served Lilly in a number of positions since 1971 and was
the company's first manager of equal employment opportunity. Prior to his current appointment, he was manager of

Johnson is chairman of the Minority Affairs Advisory
Committee of United Way of Central Indiana and serves on

"The workshops were highly relevant,
and the presenters were dynamic
and thought-provoking scholars."
You might be surprised that a small midwestern city senses
the urgency of retaining minority students. Kokomo,
Indiana, a city of 45,000, shares the problems and concerns
faced by cities and towns across the nation. Delco Electronics Corporation (General Motors' worldwide electronics
headquarters), Chrysler Motors Kokomo Transmission and
Casting Plants, the United Presidential Life Insurance
Company national headquarters, Dupont Photomasks,
Incorporated, and Haynes International, Incorporated all
call Kokomo home.
These and hundreds of other companies draw on a
work force of 50,000 from eleven surrounding counties.
All need educated employees who will help their
companies excel in an increasingly competitive, high-tech
world marketplace. All share our concerns as they find
a limited pool of talented, well-trained minorities for
professional opportunities.
Our concern in attracting, and more important in
retaining, minorities in higher education has been mounting for years. Indiana University at Kokomo has a 45-year
history of serving nontraditional, often disadvantaged
students on our commuter campus. Our university is
committed to opening opportunities for people who
believed the windows to a higher education were forever
painted shut.
Kokomo sponsored its first "Enhancing Minority
Attainment" conference in September 1991. More than 240
educators from 23 states participated in conference events,
which included presentations by Benjamin Hooks,
Reginald Wilson, and Sonia Sanchez.
